...Ahh now THAT's a snow day

Well, this 2014 has been interesting so far.  It snowed.  And then is snowed again.  And it snowed some more.  School has been closed for 8 days due to weather, or the potential for bad weather this year.  One of the winter storms ended up being called "snowmageddon."   This snow was reminiscent of the big traffic jam snow of 2005.  That horrible storm was 1 1.5 inches of pure ice and shut Raleigh down.  It took me about 2 hours to go 4 miles.  Poor Darrell was on the road for 6 hours before he got home.  This time, while it was a little better because schools were closed, it still took Darrell 2 1/2 hours to get home!  But I digress.   I am not posting about that snow.   That snow was about 4 inches of snow covered in 2 inches of sleet, then a bit more snow.  It was wet and mess, and this mama wanted nothing to do with it.

The snow I am posting about took place about 2 weeks ago.  The kids really enjoyed playing in the snow.  Riley even got to join in!  He seemed to really like the snow cream the best.  You can see from his face that he was not a happy camper when it was gone.
