As you may know, Georgia got hit by a "surprise" snow storm the last week of January. I say surprise because no one prepared for it, even though we were told it was coming. I guess no one was really prepared for it to be as bad as it was. Kids went off to school only to be released a few hours later, however, it was a few hours too late. The roads iced up fast and people got stuck everywhere! Jason made the normal 45 minute drive to the airport in a record 7+ hours and the boys had to be rescued from school by a neighbor since the buses were all stuck trying to get the middle and high school kids home first.
But eventually everyone got where they needed to be and then the fun ensued.
A look up our street on day #2.
You will not see any photos of Ethan playing outside in the snow as he takes too much after me. We'd both rather stay inside by the fire where it's warm! The other two could play outside until they turn blue and still not want to come in!!
We got about 3 1/2 inches of snow (they had only predicted maybe an inch) and a little bit of ice.
The kids got a 3 day snow vacation and all us parents started to worry
about make-up days and lost school break days (we had two "snow" days
immediately following our Christmas break due to very low temps. And I
sit here blogging this during our second round of winter storms with the
worst still to come they say).
The best part of our snow days is that we live on a street filled with friends to play with and yards with awesome hills for sledding. It brings back fun memories from my childhood days back in Seattle.
