Today turned out to be very snowy....for College Station anyways, but before I get to that, I wanted to post a picture for Boppa.  I wore the necklace she got me for Valentine's Day today.  I got many compliments on it also!  Thank you Boppa & Grandfather!

So, we knew we were supposed to be getting some snow today, but the weather channels have said that many times this year and we ended up getting nothing.  So, we weren't too optimistic.

School went on as normal today, even though there were hopes of an early release.  It started out as a rainy, cold day, but by the end of 4th period, beginning of 5th, at around 1 o'clock, we started getting some heavy snow!  The flakes were huge!  My 5th period students all ran in "PLEASE can we go play in the snow?!"  They were writing stories in French, so they all had to finish their rough drafts first, then I promised in the last few minutes of class we would go out.  So, that time comes, and we all bundle up and run outside to play.  We weren't outside more than 30 seconds and they all wanted to go back in!  The snow was very slushy and we were all soaked and cold!

6th and 7th periods go on as normal, and everyone was glued to the windows watching the snow fall.  They made an announcement 7th period that we have a late start tomorrow, so we will start at 10:30!

This is the view I had from my classroom today.

After school, we go out to the car to leave and this is what we see.

All of the cars were covered in snow! 

So, we drove home to change out of our school clothes before we go back out in the snow.

Here is the house with snow. Our house didn't collect as much snow because we have so many trees. 

After we changed, we went for a walk around our neighborhood.  First we walked down to the park.  Here is the snow covered park and us.

After the park, we walked down to the entrance to our subdivision, by the lakes. 

Someone had built a snowman by the lake.

By this time, I was freezing cold, so we went back home to warm up.  We decided not to make something for dinner, instead we drove to Koppe Bridge (partly so we could look at the snow from the warmth of the car and the restaurant). 

We are now back home, and Tim made a fire.  Unfortunately it is getting dark so we can't see the snow falling.  Hopefully it will stick around till the morning!
