Dreaming of a winter wonderland

We've watched, in envy, as snow falls in so many states. We've had so much rain this year and just cannot seem to catch a single snowflake! When the temperature drops to a level cold enough to snow we have the sunniest days possible! When the chance of precipitation is high, the temperature increases and we wind up with rain...and more rain....72 inches or so this year.

But, the past week an arctic front has settled itself in our part of the country. Baby, it's been cold outside! We've broken out the boots, sweaters, gloves, scarves, hats and winter coats! The best part? The National Weather Service says we have a 60% chance of snow tomorrow!

Yippee, Yahoo! The snow is not supposed to start until afternoon but several schools have already decided on early dismissal tomorrow--on the threat of snow! We couldn't be more excited! We just cannot wait to go outside and play in the wonderful, cold, snow!

I know there are many of you sick and tired of the snow. Well, those of us in the south don't have many opportunities to build snowmen or sled so we are ready, willing and able to enjoy the heck out of our first snowfall of 2010 (or maybe the decade, I'll have to research that).

What I'm not excited about is that we still have 3 days to make up for the flood days we had to take in September so a snow day will just add on to the time we will have to make up in June. But you know what? It's going to SNOW---who cares!!!!!

Stay tuned for photos of the first snowman that Analiese and Grace will get to make!
