The snow began early on Tuesday morning. We awoke at 7am and there was already an inch on the ground but no school delays. Daniel dropped Chase off at school at 8 am (on Tuesdays Chase goes in early to study for the "Envirothon", a quiz bowl team he's on). He then was headed to the dry cleaners when he attempted to make a turn and the tires refused to turn on the snowy road and his car slid off the road hitting a curb. It damaged the rim on one tire, a sway bar and knocked out the alignment. So I love the snow, I really do! One little slip off the road and we are out about $700. That is not including what the insurance is also paying. I am thankful it wasn't worse and that no one was hurt!
The kids got out early on Tuesday and then had off Wednesday and Thursday from school. Daniel's office closed on Wednesday too because of the icy weather so we all spent the day home enjoying the snow.
Most times of the year we hate our steep driveway and the obscene hill in our front yard! But when it snows the kids absolutely LOVE it.
But we must remember: Going down.....
is always more fun......
than walking back up!!
When Daniel finally finished shoveling the driveway, he got in on the fun too.
Let's try a double!
Let's try a double!
The double looked so fun, someone else wanted in on it. What the heck - Let's try a TRIPLE!
Of course sometimes there were pileups.
Overall, everyone enjoyed the snow days. (although when we are making them up at the end of the year - we'll see if it was still worth it!)

Oooh, that looks like a really fun way to spend the snow day! The steep driveway definitely has its perks. Can we borrow yours?
Do they not build any snow days in to the normal school year? Here they get out early if they don't use up all of the designated snow days.
Love the pictures!
I'm glad you were (mostly) able to enjoy the snow days! Also glad to hear that you didn't have to deal with the problems on the Interstate! That sounded horrible!
Fun times in the snow!
Fun! Except for the part about the car ...
Those magical no-school snow days! Hoping, waiting, with no worries aboutvactually having to drive (slide) in it. No one appreciates snow more than a kid!
I really miss the snow, but it is nice to miss the transportation woa's (including driveway shoveling). As my mother in law says, "you don't have to shovel sunshine!"
We had so much fun in the snow on our quick trip to Utah. I guess we need to try out the snow in PA next! (sorry about the car)
WHAHOO! Looks SO fun! I have had it with the snow out here though! Uugh! AS
