Rain Sleet Snow

This morning there was a little skiff of snow on the ground and the rain melted the snow. I wondered why did they call school off for this. It rained hard in the early afternoon even turning to sleet. But as the day wore on the and the tempratures dropped the rain turned into snow and now in less than an half hour the snow has covered the lawn the sidewalks and the cars. It's now coming down hard with lots of wind.

They have let the government workers leave two hours early so they can make it home before they shut down the metro and the buses. I know there won't be school tomorrow because today we were out for less than this. Love it!!! The kids will be able to play with the sleds build snowmen and make angels. Looking forward to wet gloves hats and mittens, and cold faces. Warming by the fire and drinking hot chocolate will be the highlight. Yippee Yippee
