Every few years we get a REALLY bad winter in Idaho.
It's been awhile.
I never got a snowday in my entire school career.
The kids in our district have already had two.
I've always said that if it is going to be so cold, then there might as well just be snow. So in reality I kind of love all the snow. I love that the kids want to go out every day and play in it, and I love all the pretty icicles and snow that is everywhere.
I hate stupid Idaho drivers (who are mostly transplant Californians) that don't know how to drive in the snow. Either they go WAY too slow, which let's face it is just as dangerous, or they drive way too fast. There have been too many accidents. That part I don't love.
But how could you not love all of this?
There is at least a two inch layer of ice on everything . . . . trees, bushes, cars, houses, christmas lights, extension cords. but boy is it pretty!
All the ice on the extension cords and all over the roof and Christmas lights themselves makes it far too dangerous for Eric to crawl up on the roof and pull them down. We only just recently realized that the timer was still on so they were turning on just like they were supposed to at 6 o'clock every night and turning off at 7 every morning. WHOOPS!
The kids have sure loved playing in the snow, especially at the office. There is so much cement for them to run around on. Grandpa Carpender even came the first time it snowed a lot and plowed the whole driveway at the office so the kids got to spend about 20 minutes each on the tractor helping him plow. Boy did they love it!
