Snow Day!!!


It seems wrong, doesn't it?


After nearly a month of no snowfall, the tulips began to emerge from their hiding holes in the ground. What a lovely sight! Simone began to relax and comment on the fact that the winter season may have started a month early in 2008, but it also appeared to have stopped early in 2009. That was last Friday.



On Saturday, the first wave of the snowstorm hit. Signs blew over. Trees fell. On Monday, all school busses were cancelled. By Tuesday morning, over a foot of snow had fallen. Simone had to trudge through the snow when she walked the dog. Pedestrians chose to use the road instead - a smart move if one wanted to keep one's feet dry! Only a week prior and Simone was raking the front lawn. Now she was back to shoveling.



Sigh. Where's Al Gore when you need him?
