We were blessed with some delightful weather over the weekend.
The temperature jumped up to 60 degrees
(which feels almost tropical in mid-February) . . .
. . . .and most of the snow disappeared from our yard.
Unfortunately a warm winter day is often a prelude to a big storm.
While we enjoyed the balmy weather,
we also braced ourselves for a snowstorm that was due drop 18" of snow on us today.
Our school district didn't even wait for morning to announce that school was canceled,
and Daddy (who is out of town) fretted about the fact
that he wouldn't be home to help us clear snow drifts off our driveway.
The flurries started falling this morning,
but instead of a foot and a half,
we only got about an inch and a half of snow.
The storm had veered southward,
and its northern edge barely grazed our town as it blew past.
Not one to waste a good "snow" day,
I proposed that we head to the grocery store for some popcorn,
and then spend the morning watching a movie.
The kids opted for "Curious George," which was an excellent choice.
It's such a creative, light-hearted, fun film.
