Snow!!!! What Snow????

We went to bed excited about the snow we were suppose to have today. Unfortunately, when we woke up, there was nada, none, zilch on the ground and the girls were slated to be home all day for a SNOW DAY. Luckily, by lunch time a few flakes had landed so we got about .5 inches if that--not enough to cover the grass, but enough for a little sledding. We don't have a big hill near us and even if we did, there wasn't enough snow to cover the grass, so we improvised. Fortunately, there is a driveway across the street from us that has a pretty hefty slant to it, so the girls, along with the neighborhood boys, were able to do some short sledding down the driveway. They actually had a blast. Hopefully we will be in Pennsylvania or Boston one Christmas for a real snow, but for now, this will do. And. . . we just found out school is closed tomorrow. Apparently, it is due to black ice on the roads because it is certainly not due to snow.
