Just when I thought we might make it through this winter without any ice or snow, it came. By Sunday night, school had already closed on Monday in anticipation of the ice that would be coming. The freezing rain started early Monday morning and left us iced in all day Monday. By Monday night, school had already announced it would be closed on Tuesday as well. So we all stayed home for a second day. Thankfully, by Tuesday afternoon most it had melted away and we were able to get out and about some. We were all back at school/work on Wednesday. I was hoping that would be the end of it, but it wasn't. They kept saying there was a chance of snow on Friday, but it wouldn't start until mid-morning. Well, it definitely came and stayed around for a while. I left work around 11:30 after hearing about the roads getting slick. What normally takes me 30-40 minutes to get home, took me over an hour and a half to get home. The roads were jam packed and everyone was going slow. It was Shawn's birthday and he had already taken the day off and was driving home after meeting his Dad for lunch. By the time we got home it was nap time at the kid's school, so we decided to leave them there until after nap time. Shawn went and picked them up around 3 and brought them home so they could play in the snow. They were so excited to check out the snow. It was still snowing at this point and we had tons of freshly powdered snow to play in. Too bad it was super dry snow, not good at all for building a snowman. The kids still had a blast though.
I'm really hoping this is the end of the snow/ice for this winter. I'm more than ready for some spring weather!
Looking back on my blog, I realized that it has snowed every winter since Emily has been born. That's a pretty crazy fact when you live in TX!
