I cannot ever recall having five days off of school because of snow and ice. (Maybe we did in the blizzard of 93, but I don't even think we had that many for it). The news warned us all week that a big storm was brewing and heading straight for us. We heeded the warning and prepared for the days ahead, fearing that we would have no electricity.

Well, the storm definitely hit us by the late hours of Sunday night. Snow fell heavily at first, blanketing the ground with a thick layer of white. Then as the daylight came, the temperture rose just enough to turn precipation into rain. After that, we did not see any temperatures above freezing for the next 5 days. Which meant our snow was encased in ice, never to melt (so it seemed)!

Snow day one turned in to snow day two, then three, four, and five! It was just too treacherous to venture out on the ice. Our steep driveway was a sheet of ice until the next Sunday. So, we had an impromptu winter break. We enjoyed lots of family time and ate lots of comfort food. We made lots of cold memories in the snow and ice. And, best of all, the electricity stayed on through it all!

I could really get used to being at home indefinitely. There's "snow" place like it!
