Doesn't everyone love a snow day?

We have been oscillating between unseasonably warm days and blizzards this winter season and it's been kind of fun. Colorado weather is always unpredictable and there's nothing that creates a thrilling energy better than an anticipated day off due to snow.


Weather was the biggest news story all day yesterday. Forecasts were for 3 inches all the way up to several feet! Yet, driving into work, not a flake was to be seen. The skies were a bit gray and heavy, but then the sun came out mid-morning, with patches of bright blue sky. Then, at rush-hour, the flakes began to fall. By the time I made our 1.5 hour drive home, the roads were already covered.

Very few people made it into work today. I telecommuted. Paul already had well-over 40 hours due to his demanding work schedule these days. The girls were off from school.

We had a peaceful day. At one point, the fireplace was going in our living room. I was on the couch in the living room, working, while watching Paul and the girls play in the snow.




Paul brought out a sled for the girls, but the snow was so dry and fluffy that the sled just sunk and didn't slide at all. They attempted a few runs on the mostly shoveled driveway, but it wasn't thrilling, so Paul pulled the girls to the end of our cul-de-sac in search of a better sledding spot, but Kayleigh leaned back against Abby and almost immediately fell asleep!
