Snow Day!!!

Last Wednesday, we were out of school due to the possibility of wintry weather. All morning long, I was watching out my window, patiently waiting to see the first snowflakes to fall. Finally, around 11:30, I saw them! Then it turned to rain/sleet. I was kinda sad. But, it eventually turned to snow again and it was actually sticking! It was a blizzard! A Southern blizzard, lol!!! I've only seen snow like this a handful of times in my life. It was so beautiful! We got a near record of 7.3 inches! The previous record of snowfall in a 24 hour period of 8 inches was set in 1940. So, this was a record for me! I enjoyed walking in it and making a little snowman. Effie loved it as well! The snow clumped to her fur and made it difficult for her to walk in it. All in all it was a perfect snow day and I had a lot of fun! The best part is that it mostly melted the next day! That's the best kind! Today, we are actually out because it sleeted last night. The roads are very icy. Here in the South, we just aren't equipped to get the roads safe for travel. I suspect we will be going to school through the month of June to make up all the days!
