Snow pffhttt!

So as I mentioned yesterday
Snow is a really exciting event around here...
Its also a really frustrating experience...

Yesterday is an example of the frustrating experience...
It began Sunday with the surprise of snow...

and a promise from our weatherman that more was coming...

So I waited all day for the more snow to come...
All day the weatherman said the coldest air of the YEAR was on the way...
Snow accumulations anywhere from 1-4 inches...

Artic blast moving down from Seattle...
Seattle getting hammered...

Then by noon the word that the "Arctic air" had stalled...
Wouldn't be here till later...
But still it was coming...

Businesses and schools canceled their evening activities...
People rushed to the store to stock up on supplies...

Then the 5 O'clock news said maybe we won't get any snow...
Maybe we will...
Just a little...
Or maybe nothing at all...

I am a hopeful person...
I love the snow...
I love how it changes the routine of life...
I love how it gets people out of the house...
I love how families play together and get unexpected time off...

This was two Christmas's ago...

Best snow fall ever!

Two years ago we had an AMAZING winter!
I think we should get this kind of snow every year...

I should live in Boston maybe..
No I don't want to live in Boston (it is lovely though)
I just want to live here and I want it to start having massive snow falls each and every winter....

I don't understand people like my friend Suzanne who don't like the snow...
They go into the category of people who don't like chocolate...
Those people should be put onto some sort of "watch list"
Not to be trusted...
I just don't get it ;)

I woke up at 5:30 AM to a phone call...
The CAA phone tree had been "activated" 
Late start...
Nothing like getting a call earlier than usual to tell you, you can begin your day later than usual...

Now it's 7:30 my phone has rung again saying school has now been canceled...
Yea!

P.S.

The geese are flying south in droves....
A good sign...
