Snowing "to beat the band"



When we woke up this morning, Alan said "it is snowing to beat the band." I'm not sure where that expression came from in our lives or exactly what it means, but that is what we say when the snow is really coming down.

This morning the snow was dry, like Western snow. We couldn't even make a snowball. But by noon it was sleeting and icy so we made a snowman with the neighbors. I'm afraid we will have an icy mess in the morning, but hopefully we won't lose power. Alan didn't have to go to work today, due to the snow. We got more than 6 inches, so I doubt he will tomorrow morning either.
