7:15 am.
FREEZING cold.
Still pretty dark outside.
I was snuggly and warm in my bed.
"WAS" being the key word here.
A scream broke the morning silence.
"IT SNOWED! IT SNOWED!! IT SNOWED!!"
Of course, being the "12 year-old child trapped in a 30 something (?) year-old body" that I am... I got up.
And snow it did!
It actually snowed until about 3:00 that afternoon. Nice.
We played like crazy snow-deprived people. (Is this what living in the Mojave Desert does to you?)
Another day off from school, another day of PJ's, piles of wet clothes, puddles in the kitchen floor, stacks of board games, enough hot chocolate to kill a normal person, AND...
My power stayed on!!
Thank you Lord for snow days.
The intersection where we live... where- all day- we watched cars slip and slide...
We only had one "problem" with the snow... It would not "pack" into a snowball OR a snowman. It was too "powdery" for building. Therefore, I give you...
"Cyclops... The Tiny Snowman"
Even his little Sweet Gum Tree thingy eyes wouldn't stay on... Hence his name...

I am SO JEALOUS!!! You got a real snow!!!
Snow, snow, snow - - don't you wish you were back here in the 70 something weather that we are having? ok, you probably don't but I would much rather be here in the warmth than in snow, but I would be willing to go to the snow if it meant I could see you for a little bit and have some bench time!
