Snow Day

Yesterday school was cancelled because of the snow storm we had. Greg got to go to work late and decided to work from home, so we had some family time outside. The snow was perfect for snowman making and snowball fights. Naomi loved the snow this time. Last time it snowed she was just miserable. Josiah even had a snowball fight with our neighbor, Mr John. We had about 4 inches on the ground at 9am and then when I measured again by noon we had 7 inches. School is cancelled again today, but the kids probably should have gone.

The Ice Storm

Turns out we did have an ice storm last night that left about 1/4 inch of ice on the road by early evening. The worst of it started around the time school usually gets out so I guess letting the kids out early was not a terrible idea afterall. After quiet rest time today Josiah and I bundled up and went to play outside. It was misting and there was ice on the ground and all the trees. Josiah had so much fun crunching all through the grass. His most favorite thing to do though, was eat the ice off the branches. I tried to stop him a few times and then decided hey, what harm can it do?

It's All in your Perspective!

So this morning I am sittting in Bible study when one of the other lady's phone rings. She reads the text message she got, looks out the window then leaves the room. When she comes back in she anounces, "School is being let out at 11:20am. We are having a snow day."

Now let me tell you we all looked out the window and didn't even see a flurry. I know there is a storm coming, but who has heard of going home before anything even starts?

Jan I'm with you when you say what are all those Wisconsinites going to say about a snow day when there is only 3 inches of snow? What about when there is NOTHING?

So, here are some pictures of the difference between a snow day in Kentucky, Wisconsin and Michigan (click on WI and MI to see pictures).

If you look very closely you may be able to see a flurry or two. The mail box picture is just for comparison to the MI pictures. I will update the blog with the results of the storm for the day.
