Weather Report

Tonight it's raining. Not the "shock and awe" type storm of yesterday, but a nice light steady rain. The kind that makes you switch your wipers from the interval setting to the low setting. It reminds me most of High School football rain, the kind that doesn't soak you all at once, but eventually gets to you, one way or another. It's the kind that's cold enough to make you really wish you could go to the concession stand for some hot chocolate... Luckily I had enough sense to take my umbrella with me, which makes a world of difference... (I was too stupid in High School to use an umbrella...)

There was about 2 inches of snow on the ground this morning, we ended up not walking to school. By afternoon, the snow was gone, except for the very smallest amounts here and there in shady spots. After Kate got home from school, we were trying to get the girls in the car. Emma was running around the yard laughing about how it snowed in the springtime on the flowers. Ruth had found a little tiny patch of melting snow, and appeared to be trying to figure out what plan she could concoct for it's use. She was shuttled away from the snow before she acted on anything she was thinking about...
