SNOW!!!

After much complaining about how warm this winter is, we finally got some snow. Saturday and Sunday were in the 60's and 70's and this morning it was in the 20's. Due to the fact that there is no news in Raleigh, this is a big deal. The weather people predicted a wintry mix, and it would not stick to the roads/ground. At 6:15 this morning, they were saying the roads were fine, and it was not sticking. Well, by 6:30 they started to change their tune, and were reporting that the roads were bad, and people should not drive on them unless they have to. There were 80 accidents reported between 6:30 and 7am. Brian left for work around 6:15 and he didn't have a problem. My neighbor didn't go into work today, so I am not watching their girls today. I took the kids outside this morning to play in the inch of snow we had outside. Lizzie sort of made a snow angel. The dogs love the snow, and this was the first time Chewy has experienced snow. We are on the wake/johnston county border(they do things by county here). So Wake County cancelled school, but Johnston still had school(we live in Johnton). So I took the kids out on the four wheeler just after 8am. It had started to rain by then, and the roads were fine. Buddy got to school about 5 minutes late, but they were still letting kids be dropped off at carpool without being late. Buddy was dissapointed because the girls I watch were over for about 15 minutes before their dad said he was staying home. He said that the 1st grader would probably stay home today. Buddy didn't want to have to go to school unless she did. Tough to explain to him that he had to go. We have a chance for snow on Sunday, so I am hoping it will be more significant than this snow fall, but I will take what I can get.

I wish it would snow here. It might be better than this cold annoying rain.
