It snowed the day after Christmas this year here as well. That snow piled up to almost 8 inches in some places in our yard. It was perfect snowman material.
Today's snow however I am not certain will make for a good snow man. I am certain Makayla and Easton will want to test that theory. We will see.
You want to know what I don't like about the snow? Well as crazy as this sounds...I am annoyed that I see foot prints in the snow. I think of the gorgeous white blanket as perfection. When people start to walk in it and then Cars start to slosh dirt with their tires, it becomes dirty and flawed. Its almost like I want to correct it somehow and I know I cannot so...I rather not see it on the ground at all...I TOLD YOU IT WOULD SOUND CRAZY. But that is just how my mind works sometimes....LOL
Another thing that baffles me is the reactions people have to the weather. A couple of weeks ago before Christmas, weather threatened for sleet, rain, and ice. There was a 2 hour delay for every school in the county and for Ft Bragg! The exclamation of it is....there wasn't much of anything on the roads at all. This morning comes and there is a couple of inches on the ground...roads are covered in snow and ice and it looked as though they didn't even salt the roads (I could be wrong). It took Ft. Bragg until 8 am to decide whether or not they would shut post down. I fishtailed the whole way there. North Carolina rarely gets snow so often...unlike up north where they are used to driving and plowing through snow...we usually shut down everything. Much to my surprise and not until I actually made it to work do they decide to tell us to turn around. Post is closed.
Geesh....So...now...I am back home and relaxing in my bed with a hot cup of coffee and enjoying the not so perfect blanket of snow outside my window.
All jokes (complaints) aside.....The smiles on my kids face when they see the snow is well worth any crazy obsessive compulsive thoughts of imperfect snow.
