The weather people have been getting us all riled up for the past week about the "possibility" of snow. We ignored it since it rarely turns into anything. In fact, it usually only snows once the weather people have given up and decided it won't snow after all...and that's what happened this time too. The forecast turned to rain with a slight possibility of sleet and freezing rain, but they were wrong...the flakes started to fall during rush hour last night and it wasn't long before they were big and puffy and falling fast. It was really beautiful.
When I got home the snow was accumulating and starting to stick to the streets and the boys were outside playing with the other kids. They were all having a blast with snowball fights and lots of snow angels.
All the parents were letting the kids stay out later than normal because it looked like school would be canceled. However, the snow stopped here about 8:00 pm and turned to rain (why do I hear Dan Fogelberg?). Luckily it was not freezing rain and when we woke up the roads were wet, but not icy...and our schools were open. Some neighboring counties to the north were closed.
Helen was glad that the schools were open since she has open house tonight at her school and rescheduling is always a pain. Also, the first "snow day" makeup is the Monday after we come back from skiing and Helen's really hoping to have that day off.
Derek just came downstairs to tell me that snow was still on the ground so we don't have to go to school. I informed him otherwise, which caused him much sadness.
