And the rain and snow continues. I went to a parents meeting at the school tonight, while there we saw a flash of lightning, and the rumble of thunder. That in itself was odd, as we don’t often get thundershowers, even in the summer time, but for it to happen in January was really odd.

After the meeting I walked out to the car to find the windows coated in a thick pile of slush. Looks like the kids will have a 2 hour delay in the morning. Best not to tell them or they want to sleep in, and have the ritual out of bed struggle at the later time. It’s definitely easier to get them up at the normal time, expressing wonder at the weather and let them get all excited, about the possibility of a snow day.

I realize I keep writing about the snow, and in any other location we have lived, a few inches on the ground wouldn’t be anything of interest, but here it’s so far out of the usual weather that I find myself compelled to comment on it.

We didn’t see any snow for the first two winters we were here, with just a day or 2 last year and then this year we have had snow on 3 or 4 days this last month.
