Snow, please.

We are in that time of year when we closely watch the weather forecast and hang on every word the meteorologist says wishing to hear that lovely word "snow".   From Winter Break to Spring Break it's rare to have a full week of school.  There have been teacher work days, school holidays, and a string of two hour delayed openings having us be successful so far.

The county we live in is very quick to be overly-cautious and close school in a heartbeat if there is any sign of ice or snow accumulation. The kids wake up each day and ask if they have to go to school that day or if its opening on time.  It's pretty funny. We've had a string of chances of snow or a light dusting, but nothing report worthy.

We want a big snowfall.  A blizzard would be nice. Something that shuts the city down and gives us a chance to be stuck at home.  A chance for the kids to go sledding.  A chance to get sick of the snow.  This is what we all want. We have all these snow days built into the school year -- 13 of them!  We don't get them back if we don't use them, so let's use them!

The last two years have been disappointing on the amount of snow we've gotten.  Each year the kids and I get hopeful that this will be the year...another snowmageddon!
