As far as students are concerned, last night we had the "perfect storm." It began snowing late last night and snowed about 3 inches (as it measures on my deck). It snowed long enough for all of the schools in the region to be cancelled and then, about 8am, it quit. By about 9am the roads were already slushy and by midday all the main roads were clear. That means school is out but everyone can still get out and play or travel to friend's houses.
Ellie is still at that age where she gets mad when she doesn't get to go to preschool. However, once she saw the snow, she got over it. It has snowed so seldom in her brief life, we have never had a real reason to buy her full-fledged snow playing attire. Daddy had to scramble to put together an ensemble that would provide maximum warmth while at the same time providing moisture resistance. I ended up layering some pajamas underneath a nylon warm-up suit, slapped on a warm hat, mittens and scarf, and out she went.
I have a container in the freezer with 3 snowballs. Good times! Should I tell her they will slowly disappear? Nah.
