Snapshot(s): Winter

It was that magical week in February when we got to miss school because of weather.
Some people dislike missing school because we lose our bad weather make-up days later in the spring. I used to be one of those people, but not anymore. I hope we have a surprise freeze in April and miss a whole week!

Ironically, these photos were all taken on a day when we actually had school. We did not get out early in my district, but the other surrounding cities left at noon and the metroplex could not even handle themselves on the roads. It took V 3 hours to get Alex and bring him home.
I will never understand how we are unprepared for this weather each year. It literally happens every February, and yet there still are reports of sand, truck and plow shortages.


On the actual two days of school we missed, it was icy (kind of) in the mornings, but then cleared up nicely in the late morning.

So even though we get zero breaks after spring break until the end, it's always nice to have two days off NOT on a holiday to sit around and do nothing.

I'm still hoping for an April freeze though.

the snow was very dry and not conducive to forming good snow balls
