So on the last day of school before a 16 day Christmas break, it snows half an inch… and school is canceled.

My daughter has been outside since before the sun came up, playing in the snow. My son comes in every few minutes complaining about the cold and that people are throwing snowballs at him.

I have no idea why they would be throwing snowballs at him. Ahem.

The snow has stopped, and the temps are starting to climb. It’s supposed to rain this afternoon, so this will be all gone later today.

I guess it’s fine that they get today off. I mean, it doesn’t snow that often around here. They should enjoy it when they can. But if this had happened on the first day back to school after 16 days off, we’d be having a whole other type of blog post here.
