Blizzard!- Henry.

Apparently we drank our "end of winter" beer too early, because we got a freak snow storm last night. we were confused as to why all the schools were delayed 2 hours yesterday. It must have been in preparation for the storm that hit at 5pm. (And you know the whole county was shut down today, even though the snow all melted last night.)
We couldn't wait to get outside.


I wanted to take Thomas out with me to reenact the episode when Percy warns Thomas about a snow drift by blowing his whistle.

Despite being bundled up, June was not happy to be sitting in the snow and was the first to ask to go in.

Mama wanted a picture of us in the snow, but June refused to smile (she's officially gone soft on us, since she's spent most of her life in the South now) and I didn't want to get my bottom wet, so I would only crouch down.
Because it was kind of warm, it was a very pretty snowstorm, with big flakes that stuck to all the trees and bushes. It was a very prety evening to be outside. Papa didn't get to enjoy it as much because he was stuck in a traffic jam on his way home from work. It is hard driving on roads that are wet from snow that instantly melts when it hits the pavement.
