What's that White Stuff Falling From the Sky

I guess mom's "snow dance" worked last night. I tried to convince the boys that they should use their lariat's to tie grandma to her chair so she couldn't do the snow dance, but that wasn't going to happen. They were all for dancing with her even though I was all for them going to school and me to work.

Snow is just something that you don't see often in the midland of South Carolina. We mostly just see it on televisions and talk about how much fun it would be to have snow ball fights, build snowmen and make snow angels. We are also content knowing it's not going to happen. . . . . normally. This is one of those abnormal weather events that we have which caused chaos at my house this morning. You see because there was snow and sleet falling from the sky, even though it wasn't sticking to anything, Dylan was adamant he was NOT going to school today. He was going to sit home and watch it from his bedroom window and try to sneak out in it when the opportunity presented itself. Needless to say, I won that battle, he's at school and calm has returned to our home. Catching snowflakes on his tongue on the way to the truck turned out to be great for him. Now he had something he could talk to his buddies about at school today. I just hope his excitement doesn't get him in trouble. . . . .

While the snow is beautiful and we don't see it often, I don't think I will miss it when it is gone. People around here seem to forget how to drive when there is snow or sleet. What am I talking about -- they forget how to drive around here when it rains! I am not looking forward to my trek back home this evening which takes me about 35 minutes on a clear day.

I do hope everyone enjoys the snow while it lasts; however, please drive carefully.
