Garland Squared: SNOW!

It happened! We really did get snow! It happened quite quickly too! I went upstairs after lunch and it was really coming down but not really sticking. I went back down to my desk to make a phone call and when I came back up, the roads were completely covered! That 15 minute phone call cost me a THREE hour commute home! We had what they called a thunder snow that dumped a couple of inches of snow in a couple of minutes and caused all sorts of problems with traffic. It was a heavy thick snow. Knoxville got more than Maryville did but there was still enough for Drew and Anna Kate to get to have some fun.
By the time I got home, it was dark and pretty cold so instead of taking them outside, I brought the snow to them! I got a bowl full and gave them some spoons and let them go to town! They stirred and held it in their hands and even snuck a taste or two. John Clay talked them into dumping it in their bath tub before they took a bath to see what would happen. They weren't sure how they felt about it when it melted!
Friday morning we suited up and went out for little while before I left for work. There wasn't much snow left on the ground and what was there was starting to melt but they enjoyed a good 20 minutes out there just running around checking it out. I hope it will snow another time or two this year and that they will be able to least sled and make a snow man!
