Start flowing free

After a weekend that dropped close to a foot of snow across the southside, things are still moving slowly. Roads are being cleared, many schools are closed or on e-learning, and there just aren’t many events happening today to round up. Rather than force a list that doesn’t really exist, we’re keeping things simple and realistic.

We’re keeping a close eye on the weather and what’s reopening or rescheduling, and assuming things start to feel a little more normal, I’ll be back in your inbox Tuesday morning with a full look at events happening Tuesday through Thursday.

For now, stay warm, stay safe, and do your best to enjoy being snowed in (or at least tolerate it with coffee and extra layers). And if we end up with two e-learning days in a row… well, let’s just all say a small prayer for parents everywhere.

Thanks for your patience and thanks for being here!
