Wednesday afternoon, it started snowing. Actually, it started pouring ice. I was on my way home from the grocery store, and the sky just opened up and started dumping ice. It was something to behold! Other folks saw and heard lightening and thunder. Mom and Dad were at the house watching the kids for me, and I ran in and told them to go home right away unless they wanted to spend the night. They headed out immediately.Right about the time Mom and Dad left, Tom called to announce he was leaving work. That was around 3:30 pm. The ice stopped and the snow started to fall and fall and fall. I expected it to take a little longer than normal for Tom to get home in the snow, but I never imagined it would take him 3.5 hours! It turned out that route 7 was closed because of a vehicle fire, so he sat in traffic for about 3 hours and then drove the really long way home. What a mess!
Thursday morning, we woke up to a winter wonderland. After all was said and done, we measured about a foot of snow. Sydney immediately suited up and was out in the snow with Daddy in no time! They made snow angels, snowmen, and snow castles, and she got him to pull her around on her sled. After all that playing, she was happy to come in, drink some hot cocoa, and make some cookies with mommy. What a perfect snow day!
