It seems that we go for a few years with minimal snow... just long enough for everyone to complain that we NEVER get any snow at our house. Then... we have a year like this where the snow just keeps falling.
Yesterday the schools were two hours late. Today all the local school districts were closed.
By 3:00 today we had 9 inches of snow on the ground. Woo Hoo!!
The girls spent all day playing in the snow: sledding, making snow angels and snow men. The dog jumped into snow that was almost as deep as she is tall... and came out with a coat of snow stuck to her fur.
Dad braved the drive to work, but opted to come home a little early to beat the traffic and darkness... and decided it would be wise to put the old studded tires on the car. I was holding off because they need to be replaced and, well, we NEVER get any snow at our house.
All the local districts, except for our district, have already announced closures for tomorrow. Despite all the fun they had today, the girls are hoping that school is NOT cancelled because it is supposed to be Pajama Day at school which they've been looking forward to all year long.
