Below Freezing

The “not snow” has been fun for our children and their friends.   The last bit of precipitation we got was about an inch-and-a-half of snow on top of the icy, sleety, freezing rain mess that came down for twelve hours.   The accumulation, while not appealing in any way to most adults was still, “snow” to the children and it was still fun.

They’ve spent a lot of time outside today and yesterday.   It’s not gotten warmer, it is much colder than the temperature when the precipitation started.   While some has melted on the black roads, a lot is still in place and is quite icy and as such, most things are cancelled or closed for tomorrow.

The Big Boy Update:   My son has told me, “the snow is freezing”.   We didn’t have a pair of snow boots to fit him so he had to wear his rain boots with multiple pair of socks.   He was warm everywhere else, but his feet did get cold enough to send him in.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter and husband are in Detroit, missing the snow day off from school for an EUA one month after her latest surgery.   They’ll be home tomorrow night in time for school on Tuesday.
