Snow!! Snow!! Snow!!

About a week ago I was watching the weather and the mention of snow was made. I don't know about anyone else but this excites me. I love the first and last snow of the year. That doesn't mean that I only want one snowfall a year, it means that all the snow in-between the first and last I could do without. All I want is one in November and one in March. I know this sounds crazy. I do have perfectly good reasons for both. November because it means we are going to stay cold and March because it isn't going to stay around. Who cares about "white Christmas" it just makes travel hard.

When I was in school I liked it because there was always a chance we would get out of school early, or better yet not have to go at all. Now days I like it because mainly I don't have to get out and drive in it. That and there is always the chance that I can convince my husband that it is too bad to go out and he stays home from work. We all know what that means. Maybe not this year with the baby, but we always have naptime. Naptime is my absolute favorite time of day.

So a week ago the weather people started murmuring about snow and now finally the day before they have committed to it. It is about time. They are wrong most of the time I know. Hopefully they are right about the ice/snow line though. Right now we are in the snow. My luck they are wrong and we will end up with 2 inches of ice again. My trees can't handle that again. Last years ice storm really took a toll on my two trees by the driveway. If I had had my way they would have gotten cut down over the summer. They are both way to close to the house and they are too weak for my comfort. Maybe I can talk him into it this next summer. I can dream.
