Snow Day

Today was a snow day for most of Northern VA and the DC area. The only thing missing was snow. Some areas may have gotten a couple of inches but here in Leesburg we got no snow and only a little layer of ice. The ice was probably a good reason to call a two hour delay but to give the kids a whole day and to close county governments- come on!

The prediction of snow if enough to close schools in this area. Now of course if I were a kid I wouldn't mind. Snow days were always so much fun. But the best part was the snow! We lived right near a golf course that had a couple of great hills, so on snow days we would get all bundled up and walk down and spend the afternoon sledding. Good times....

And then in college there were definitely a few times we went sledding on lunch trays. We did get a real snowfall here a couple of weeks ago like 5 or 6 inches but I haven't figured out the cool places to go sledding yet.

I am hoping spring will come soon, I have had enough of the cold weather and gray skies. I want warm weather and sunny skies. My roommate and I are going to have a little garden in our backyard so I'm excited to get that started. I think we will just go simple tomatoes, green beans and a couple of other things. But it will be fun if it ever gets warm....
