Winter Desertland Take 2

I thought we got lucky on Monday with the dusting of snow, but boy, we got twice as lucky yesterday. It rained all morning, then about 12 noon, the snow started to fall. Allot. It was the kind of snow you see up in the U.P of Michigan where you can't see a foot in front you! lol It snowed until about 10pm last night. It was awesome! It reminded me so much of home in Michigan, and made it feel so much more Christmassy around here. By the time it was over, we had at least 8-10 inches of snow! The kid's schools got cancelled today, and Hubs didn't have to go to work till 10am. The highways in and out of To Hot Shithole were closed up tight. This town has all of 2 plows, and I am assuming none of them work cause the roads were shit yesterday! The people around here absolutely flip out at the sight of snow,and they don't know a lick about driving in it, so our venture out was fun to say the least. I guess you can't blame them, it's the damn desert. But now my kids can actually say they had a snow day! lol They are outside as I type playing in it. I told them they had better do it now, cause in the next day or so it'll all be gone!

Wow, how awesome is that?! The kids got a snow day in the desert! Love your snowman! Glad that you got a little taste of "home" for the holidays! Hopefully we'll see a little snow this weekend (definitely not 8-10 inches, though!) It doesn't really feel like Christmas until it snows a little!

That's too funny. We're getting hammered on, as we speak. It's crazy! I'll have to get my pics on here to show you. It'll put your 10 inches to shame :)

And make it go away when we get there. I don't want to leave this shit just to get your shit :)

How Fun! First Vegas gets snow, now you guys! What are we here in Phoenix? Chopped Liver? It's been blowing cold wind and rain for 2 days, cold enough for snow, but not a flake in sight. Actually, several flakes of the human variety, none of the frozen snow kind! What a fun Christmas for you!
