The snow was predicted to begin Sunday night. At 5:00 all schools and the university closed for Monday. Every hour we went outside to check for a flake. Not one in sight.
The special "storm" dessert we ate; mini pudding pies, and we waited.
Finally, the first flakes fell!

Within 15 minutes we had a dusting on the deck!
WOW! 1/2 inch already!
To bed we went satisfied that calling off school was justified--why it's almost a full inch of the white stuff!!
Then in the morning we saw...
An entire white world!!! At least 5 inches--8 in some places!!
So we bundled in our warmest,
And decided to play.
No sled you say? Then what is this?
It works just as well, getting us down the hill!
Making us laugh, making us smile,
And helping the youngest enjoy in delight!
But wait, what is this?
Someone must work, to clear out a path,
Is it Mom? Nope she's enjoying the hill!
Push us together!
Boy am I pooped!
Resting and warming by the fire,
So the next day we can stay busy, doing what we love! NO SCHOOL TODAY!
Three days later...the snow is not gone. We've not been to school, to the store or to work. Bring the warmth back--this is the SOUTH you know!
