Let it snow, Let it snow!




A sweet blizzard rolled into town on Friday night. It was amazing to watch. I happen to have a 'wannabe meterologist' for a husband. He loves and is fascinated by weather, especially storms of any kind. So he, Maya, and Brynn were watching the storm all day. It snowed about 20 inches in as many hours. It broke the roof of the metrodome. The buses stopped. The snowplows were called off because of limited visibility, and we just sat in awe. The girls and Evan went outside, Maya is just like her Dad, and she could have stayed out in the snow all day. Brynn almost didn't make it out the front door, it was a little tedious to get her in all of her snowgear. Later that day Evan picked a friend of ours up from the bus stop and the picture of our car is after it had been 'defrosting' in the garage for a half hour. It was the most snow since 1991. So beautiful. It stopped at 6pm Saturday night and then the stars were out, and Sunday was clear and bright. I know the cold, cold temperatures will accompany this snow now, but I am so happy to have a beautiful white Christmas season.
