Snow days


Being from CA and able to drive to the snow and leaving when we have had enough, I do enjoy looking out my window and watching it snow. The dead trees look so pretty with their dusting of snow. When we first moved here we thought it funny to hear 6 inches of snow causes whole towns, even cities to shut down for at least a couple of days. After being here for several years now, we have seen it snow several times and when the snow actually sticks, it is unusual to accumulate more than an inch. We have seen the road covered but not the yards because the road didn’t get salted, but it is rare to see the snow actually cover the grass. As I sit here typing I wonder if today might be one of those times, when I got up this morning, our yard was white, the grass is still taller than the snow.If it keeps going, Peter Pan may not be going to work.Hard to believe it was almost 60 degrees here yesterday.I do wish for enough to play or sled in, but it seems silly to drive to snow when it is snowing at your house.
