Snow day

The kids started back on school from winter break the first Tuesday of January. The teachers always have a workday that Monday I guess to get ready for the new semester. They had been back to school just 3 days when we had a snow day. This snow day wasn't very fun. It was way to cold outside. For the past week, it has been way colder than anything we have ever experienced since living here almost 12 years ago. The highs and lows were in the teens with the wind chill in the single digits. Definitely unusual for our area since our normal highs for this time of year are in the low 50s with the lows in the low 30s. We definitely broke some records. The only reason why we had a snow day is because the roads were very icy and would be for sometime because the weather wasn't going to get above freezing for quit some time. By the late afternoon the only icy spots were where the roads were covered with shade. This snow wasn't good snowball snow it was very icy and wouldn't hold not that there was much snow to make a snowball with anyway maybe our whole walkway would make one snowball. So not the best snow day but the kids didn't complain because it was Friday and there was no school!!

SNOW DAY Are you kidding me?????

Well, the day after Jon and I got back from our Disney vacation the kids had a snow day. Not Talmage though. He goes to Pre-K in a different county and their county didn't have a snow day. This is what it looked like outside our window



Not really enough to build a snowman especially since it is really wet snow.

From what I heard south of us the city of Atlanta got hit with a lot more snow and ice patches than we did their snow didn't change to mostly rain like ours did. Usually our city gets hit hardest in our county because we are the northern most city in our county, but not this time. When I took Talmage to school in the morning, there was one ice patch that I drove over and it was probably a foot long by three feet wide. By the afternoon all of the snow was gone except for the snow that was in the shade.

The weird thing is 2 days later we were out in shorts and t shirts because it was in the lower 70s and the following day almost hit 80 . We went from Winter, Spring, and Summer all within 5 days.
