Well whaddya know?
Sometimes meteorologists can accurately predict the weather. Crazy!
After an abysmal and disappointing snowfall last week, the weatherfolks began predicting another storm. I was dubious and smug. You know - the usual. But then it actually starting snowing and accumulating.
Exciting! I love a good snowstorm. But only if it melts off within a week or two. I ain't into the whole winter-all-the-way-until-summer schtick. Idaho did me dirty my entire life.
School was dismissed early on Friday. And then it was canceled.
It was canceled on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday.
How wonderful for us! Sissy was excited for the extra sleep and Nintendo time.
And Baby ate the snow.
Mykey and the girls made a sledding run behind our house. It was adequate but lacked speed.
Once the roads were cleared, we headed to the pool for an exhilarating sledding excursion. It was fast and furious. We almost became stuck in the parking lot since we had the Prius, but we managed. (My snow-worthy car was at the dealer having the lift gate repaired...not great timing)
I even took my old bones down the hill multiple times. It was thrilling and made me feel young again. Well...until I had to schelp these old bones and bulky bum back up the hill. That made me feel like I need to eat more vegetables and less ice cream. But we had a marvelous time! Sissy even took off her coat and went down the hill in a tank top like a crazy person. Marvelous indeed.
We also made snow ice cream and enjoyed not having anywhere to be.
