2014 Snowzilla

We've had two "snowstorms" in the last 2 weeks.  CRAZY!!!  This is North Carolina......this doesn't happen here.  I can handle it for a couple days - it is pretty.  But, then it must melt (which it does).  

Sophia is into playing in the snow, making snowmen, sledding.  Abby on the other hand, is very much like me......she doesn't want anything to do with it.  She did play for a bit and then explained how she would much rather be cuddled up inside.  I agree!  

January 28, 2014 - only about an inch, maybe 2 of snow.  School was cancelled for 2 days.  It is shocking to us.  They don't have the equipment to clean off the roads.  Plus, the temps were above freezing during the day - melting and then at night would re-freeze.  Black ice was the big concern.  

February 12, 2014 - about 6 inches of snow - very rare to ever receive that much snow here.  Glad we kept a shovel!  School is cancelled for 3 days.  We did have a city snowplow come through like 3 times.  By noon today, the snowing stopped.  Temp rose to 43 and much was melting.  Thank goodness!!  Sophia made a really cute snowman - we named him Mr. Flake.  He lasted a few hours and then collapsed from melting.  Fine by me!

Enough of this snow now.....really!    

Max LOVES the snow!!!
