Snowmageddon Part I

Last week was Snomaggeddon Part I. I have to capture this for the history books, but for all you Midwest readers you have to remember that this city is not built for snow, there is no equipment to clear the roads and the roads are hilly! So comparisons aren't fair, but this was still one for the records.

The snow started falling heavily during the Superbowl and by Monday morning there was about 5 inches, so of course no school on Monday (we celebrated with snowman pancakes). The snow continued to fall on Monday, so of course no school on Tuesday. School on Wednesday was 2 hours late, and unbelievably, school on Thursday was also 2 hours late. Both called as such the night before. The forecast called for another snow storm to move in on Friday, so on Thursday night before a flake had fallen from the sky, they called an early release day on Friday. One snow storm, 2 no school days, two 2 hours late and 1 early release, not one full day of school. Total accumulation at our house was about 6 inches. 

Brian and the kids had a good time playing in the snow, but everyone was hoping for a full day of school by the middle of the week. The kids built a snowman, went sledding and even skied down our neighbor's driveway.
