My principal told me that this morning after I told him my children's reaction to the snow.
It snowed last night. It is still snowing heavily.
When Helena went out to scrape her car and start it up this morning, she came back in wanting to know if there would be school closures. She was disgruntled at the amount of snow. We had a foot of snow overnight with much more coming down.
When Will woke and realized it had snowed, he was jubilant! He can't wait to hit the slopes with all this new powder. It is very light and powdery snow. He wants to go to Canyons Resort with his friend, Cody, but I think he'll have to be content with Sundance since Canyons costs $90 for a day pass and he already has a season pass to Sundance. I understand the attraction, though. Canyons is the largest ski resort around.
As for Helena wishing school would close down for the snow... that is a pipe dream. I only remember school being closed ONCE in all the time I have lived here. Blizzards rarely even shut things down here. We all just blaze ahead in all the slick mess. Most people have four wheel drive and there is at least one guy living on every block who has a snowplow attachment for his truck or four wheeler. Bill's 'snowplow attachment' is his backhoe.
I have four wheel drive... on the Expedition... that Helena drives. I am stuck with the little Alero that slips and slides all over the place. This morning's commute was particularly slippery.
Ah well. At least it is Friday!
