Hey Rox... Remember when we were kids and we'd hear the weather report that their was possibly going to be snow the next day. We would be excited by the prospect of missing a day or two or MORE of school, not so much because we hated school but because the snow days were so much fun... OK... School wasn't all that much fun either, but some of it was cool.And then we'd be looking out the windows all night but not see anything. We'd go to bed and wake up all night and look out the windows...only to be disappointed that it still wasn't snowing and we'd complain about the prospects of actually having to go to school...
And then, around 5am, we'd wake up...AND IT WAS SNOWING! Then we'd listen to dad's clock radio and wait to hear whether or not our school was closed. We'd listen intently as district after district, school closure after school closure were announced...AND THEN...OURS!
We'd go back to sleep with visions of no school, snow angels, snow ball fights, snow folks, etc...and then wake up and have fun!
Today, work sent me out to McMinnville. It wasn't so bad until I hit Sherwood, and then it was nothing but ice. The day was very intense for me, but I made it through OK. I saw four wrecks and one abandoned car, but all was basically well.So I took a few pictures and thought about the good old days of missing school when it snowed. McMinnville, however, only opened two hours late. Poor disappointed kiddoes (I assume they were disappointed).
Still, seems there was fun to be had, and folks having it.
