Let it Snow...

Can we be done with snow now? I've discovered I don't mind snow if it's around for a little bit, we can play in it, don't need to go anywhere and then it melts. End of story. That, however, did not happen to us this time. Starting December 1st, it was predicted we'd get snow on Friday. It was supposed to be 1-3", a nice dusting to play with and perfect timing since Adia already had no school that day. We woke up on Friday to about an inch. I wasn't too impressed. The girls were desperate to play in it so they did. I figured it would be gone in a few hours. Oh... I was so incredibly wrong.

It soon started snowing again around 10am and it. Didn't. Stop. It snowed all day long, from big flakes to miniscule ones, but it was constant. When we went back outside around 2pm, we had 5in and it was still snowing.

By the time we went to bed, there was almost 7 inches of snow on the ground. photo.JPG

The next morning, when Daddy came home from work, we took the girls on a forced march in the snow. I can officially say, Leia does not like snow. Maybe if she was completely bundled in thick waterproof snow clothes, she'd feel differently, but we don't own that kind of stuff.

Sadly, I have no snowman to show you. The snow is too cold and powdery to make one. Speaking of cold, we have yet to get above freezing. The snow is still with is and Adia's school is already cancelled on Monday. I wouldn't be surprised if Tuesday also gets cancelled. We aren't supposed to thaw until Wednesday and driving is dangerous out there.
