This morning we woke up to 3 or so inches of snow and it was still coming down. The dogs had a great time playing in it. They were racing all over the yard. They didn't seem to mind the cold. When they came in they had quite a bit of snow stuck in their fur. I got some of it off but didn't worry about the rest because it is just water. However apparently that wasn't good enough for Toby who proceed to lick all the clumps off and eat them! Silly dog. Quincy on the other hand could have cared less. The two of them just crack me up.
The road weren't bad yet they still canceled school for all of the local districts. I miss snow days! There were some kids out playing when I went to work around 9am. I think the last snow day I had was in college when we got several feet of very wet snow. I can remember walking home the day it started down folsom hill in 6-12 inches of very slushy snow. I was wet up to my thighs and freezing when I got home. The next day I can remember tying plastic bags over my shoes and walking to Sean's house. I didn't have any boots at the time. He thought I looked really silly but it mostly kept my feet dry. I have boots now! I had to buy some when we lived in Mass.
Any one having any other entertaining snow day stories they want to share?

My friends and I used to haul our sleds up to the water tower in Broomfield and spend all day going up and down those hills. We would build little jumps, and spend a lot of time trying to ice the runs so we could go faster! I fear that my children will never get to experience sledding, having a wife that is a pediatrician is putting a serious damper on that. She sees a ton of sledding and ATV accidents at work, surprisingly those two are often combined (they use the ATV's to pull kids up the hill) which is where most of the injuries come from. Sledder vs. ATV is never a good thing!
so it snowed here in seattle before it snowed in Ohio. Darn Global warning! Max will be jealose. He has been asking for more snow since it melted on sunday.
One summer my family went up to St Mary's glacier, where I got to play in the snow a bit. It was pretty fun until a guy almost skied over me. Last year when we had the big snow I tried to make an igloo in our front yard - we have this big divit where I removed a bush, and I thought it would help to have the interior already lower than the base of the walls. It was going pretty well, but soon realized I needed a snow saw or something similar to shape the blocks. Ah well, maybe we'll get another big one this year (grin)
