10:00pm Monday night ---nothing
11:00pm---still clear
Midnight with not a snowflake in the air, the possibility of us having a snowstorm was looking grim. We had already had Monday off from work in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. day, so a very rare snow-day would give us a four-day-weekend. But heading for bed with a clear sky we resigned ourselves to the fact that Tuesday would see us working and set our alarm for an early morning.
When I awoke at six am, what did my eyes happen to see outside—not much. There were snowflakes, but nothing to get too excited about. Nothing seemed to be accumulating yet, so I hopped in the shower and mentally began preparing for a day at the office.
As is naturally the case, now that I was completely awake and dressed and ready to go, our alert went off informing us that they had cancelled work for the day. Jennifer was giddy---especially since she hadn’t yet gotten out of the warm cozy bed. She finally got her snow day. In fact, as the day went on, the snow got thicker and the next day at work was cancelled as well. A five day weekend!
Free from work and our hour commute we slept in, played in the snow, and spent some time recording in the studio. We decided to work on an unusual song that allowed us to test out some interesting vocal recording techniques. Jennifer sang a variety of different ways until we got the right sound. Now it’s just a matter of recording some backwards violins for a bizarre interlude. We might release this song online in the future if people are curious enough to hear it. We actually recorded it just to test out some equipment and have fun.

Jennifer singing in the studio
After the recording session we enjoyed the cool air and snow. I must say though, Jennifer is a much better singer than she is snow ball thrower.
