For the first time this school year, school was closed. The funny thing was that there wasn't a flake to be found when the sun came up. The weather obsessed had been tracking a HUGE storm that was supposed to hit at 7 AM this morning. 5-10 inches expected with a fun mix of sleet and snow. Well, 7 came and went without any snow. 8 AM, 9 AM, 10 AM nothing. Finally around 10:30 it started. And boy, once it started, it didn't let up. It snowed hard and fast. At nearly 4 in the afternoon, I'm guessing we have around 6 inches. Luckily Spike left work around lunch and beat the heaviest of the downfall, but still, it took him an extra HOUR to get home. Once he ate, he and the boys headed out to play in the snow for the first time this season. It was rough though, it was overcast, snowing hard (and not packing snow), and only about 25 degrees. Aidan didn't last very long outside, but Jake and Spike stayed out for a long while. I'm hoping tomorrow will be nicer out for them. I very carefully stepped a few steps outside in good boots to take a few pictures. It was killing me not to be out there with them more. Though the fast snow in my face and low temps quickly squashed my feelings of guilt.
