First Snow Days
Our weatherman is forecasting the first snow of the season for tonight and tomorrow. However, I'm quite skeptical at this point since most of the time these forecasts end up being wrong. Where I live, a more accurate measure of whether we are going to get snow or not is how much bread and milk is left at the local grocery store. If there is no bread and no milk then you can rest assured that we will get accumulating snow.
For some reason, people around these parts get hysterical at the thought of accumulating snow. They run out to the stores and stockpile food as if the world was going to end over an inch of snow. I've seen this happen my entire life and I must admit that's it's all part of the fun, anticipation, and excitement of a first snow. And, if we do get some snow there will be another first. Can you guess what it is? This first will be for our darling kindergartener in the form of a SNOW day! I remember how exciting those days were for me as a child. So here's to hoping my little guy gets his very first snow day. If not now, there's always January when snow days are pretty much guaranteed.Labels: first snow, snow day kindergarten

beautiful shot of the falling snow. we havent gotten anything of signifigance yet.
We've had flurries, but no accumulation. Julia is waiting, not so patiently, to build a snowman.
I hope your boy gets his snow days. They are the best!
Hello Amanda!
That is a very pretty picture! We got blasted with snow, too, and I love it!
I just wanted to verify that you got my mailing address for the Trendy Tadpole t-shirt?
Thanks!
