"The Great Winter Storm of 2010"
We woke up this morning to Eli running towards our room yelling, "It's snowing, it's snowing!!" He was so excited. It was snowing big fluffy wet snowflakes. He has been talking about making snow angels since Christmas when it had snowed in Amarillo. We decided to bundle him up and let him go outside for awhile. He had on pajama pants, sweat pants, two shirts, his old tennis shoes, his heavy coat and big fluffy socks for gloves. He immediately ran to the edge of the patio and dove down to start his first ever snow angel. He later told me, "Mommy, I've waited my WHOLE LIFE to make a snow angel!" He ate snow off the tree branches, ran around, threw some snowballs and had a great time. We let him stay out for a few minutes, but it was very wet snow.
When we got back inside I was watching the news. The weatherman called it "The Great Winter Storm of 2010." They are expecting a whopping 3-7 inches, "the most snow Dallas has seen since 1978." It's wet slushy snow. The pictures of the highways look more like it's raining than snowing. Some schools have already canceled for today AND tomorrow. I don't mean to be a snow snob, but come on, I wouldn't exactly call this a great winter storm. I can remember in 7th or 8th grade one time there was snow up to my waist. They finally released school early, and that was only because most parents had already picked their kids up.
This afternoon, Zoe went down for a little nap and Eli and I got outside in the snow and built a snowman. It's been a fun day watching all the kids and parents on our street out playing in the snow.
