I really couldn't believe it last night when they cancelled school. Yes, even before it had started snowing! We woke up this morning to a skiff(hmm spelling?) of snow and it hasn't stopped yet. It is beautiful! (We might have a few inches now.)
What is sad is Redge has a bunch of people that have flown in for meetings and the locals didn't come to work! hmmm how come?? Well if there is a hint of bad weather there is a run on milk and bread (the basics, right?) and they will call in to say they aren't coming.... or the businesses will call off work. As I was watching the whole state school system shutting down... they were also announcing work closings! I love it here!
I guess I will give it to the locals that they are smart... one- take advantage of the weather, two- they really don't have the ability to deal with snow. If they had the equipment it would be an old wreck because it just doesn't snow here. Last time for this much - 4 years ago. Can you believe it!!??!! We would be closed down for an entire winter at home with that attitude!
The kids were so excited to play in the snow that they started doing their jobs for the day without me even asking them. I guess they are starting to figure it out!
I know they are freezing out there and they don't want to come in for fear it will go away!
Megan loves clearing off the piles of snow!
Here they are coming in finally!
Now we're going to have hot chocolate, dry off the clothes, and try it again!!

Isn't it great to live somewhere where snow causes such strange things. When we lived in Boise they would do the same things sometimes and we would laugh because you knew on the other side of the state they were all going to school and just figuring it out while we got to play and have hot chocolate.
lol. wow, they can't handle a little snow! I can't believe they shut everything down!
Cool. It's about time those Idaho Kids got to play in the snow! I hope they enjoyed their day off. How nice.
HOW FUNNY IS THAT.THEY HAVE HAD MORE DAYS OFF BECAUSE OF SNOW THEN WE HAVE HMM, WHAT IS WRONGE WITH THIS PICTURE??? IAM GLAD THEY GOT TO PLAY IN THE SNOW.
What is even more funny is we are off again... Roads are completely clear!! I am dying! I am definately not going to complain though. We are going to have a fun day again, tomorrow.

Whoohoo! Did they build a snowman yet? Enjoy it while it lasts! Im sure you will your Idahoans!
Whoo Hooo! Snow! Glad you guys got some to play in! I don't dare tell the boys you got a snow day and we have not had one! Did Redge have his lawn mower out cleaning off the neighbors drives? Sure miss you guys!
Yes - that's a LOT of snow. I can TOTALLY see why the city shut down. hee hee - that's hilarious.
Cyndee we got 3 or 4 inches last night and Aubree was thrilled to be able to wear her snow clothes to school today! Is your snow still around or is it melted already?
Wow - the kids look happy about the snow!! I am SO jealous that yours all melted. We are freezing to death here!! I am ready to go back to Cancun.
