Finally! a snow day...

April 9th...a snow day

 

Finally!  That's what my kids said...a Snow Day! 

 

In Seattle, and the surrounding areas, if there is a possibility that snow or ice will be on the roadway, it is an extremely good chance that school will be cancelled.  So when we heard of the first big snow coming in --possible 6-10 inches and a high of 9 degrees F--my kids thought that school would be cancelled the next day.

 

NOT SO!

...and that happened many times...

 

So here it is April and we get a blizzard warning.  8-12 inches possible in the surrounding Denver areas with a high of 9 degrees F. 

Douglas County cancelled school!  The funny thing is...we didn't get that much and even though it did snow for a good 16 hours, it didn't stick to the road much. 

Here is what it looked like the day after. The sun so bright it was hard to see outside without sunglasses!

Cool!

Big Rocky Mountains in the distance ---Beautiful!
