It sounds a bit odd, but I am so So SO thankful for the ice/snow storm we received on Thursday night!! It is finally making it feel like Christmastime here in Texas. Having four seasons is really one of the things I really miss! I know everyone in Cache Valley is complaining about the cold and snow, but I miss it! This storm shut EVERYTHING in town down! The ice on the roads is 2 or 3 inches thick and then we got 3 inches of snow on top of it. Rock Salt doesn't exist here, neither does snow plows or even plows on trucks for that matter!! School was cancelled on Friday, Saturday we ventured out to HEB and the roads were full of ice, Sunday church was cancelled because the heater in the building was broken, and today, Monday school is once again cancelled because of poor road conditions.
The kids have been having a BLAST dressing up in all the winter gear and playing in the ice/snow. The snow is really just the consistency of shaved ice, but good for playing non the less. Allee was so proud of all the ice she pulled off the trampoline, and Derek payed Allee and Pierce each $5 for cleaning off the tramp, it was sagging pretty badly!
Oh how I miss winter!! For now we will enjoy every minute of this snow because in just a few short days it will be 55 degrees again and we will only have our white memories to hold us through til Christmas!
