Snow Day 2009

It's been a very mild winter this year for us in Colorado, but as we've learned after living here many years, March is our snowiest month. We've been enjoying unseasonably warm Spring weather, but we've been hoping for the other shoe to drop in the form of a big snowstorm. And today we have it!.

Predicting weather in Colorado is either the hardest job in the world or we have bad weather forecasters. They've been predicting snow it seems once a week all month and have not gotten a single flake. This morning we thought it was more of the same. We were told to expect heavy snow by morning and there was just a light dusting.

I had planned on working from home in case of the big one, but based on the little snow received by morning, I decided to go ahead and go in. I regretted my decision even before getting to work. Snow started to get heavy about 2 miles from the office. I stayed for a little bit but then headed home to work for the rest of the day and was back by 10:30. Angie's office closed early too and she was home around 1:00. It was nice to have a snow day with a fire and movies together. I think Sidney got cabin fever and decided to go out to play in it. It's pretty much the first time all year she's had the chance and she took advantage of it. Her only disappointment is this is her Spring Break!

Let it snow!!!
