Daniel's First Blizzard

Growing up in Colorado I have become accustomed to it's weird weather. One minute it will be sunny and the next... blizzard or down pour or tornado. So when the weather man for casted 2 entire days of snow, freezing temperatures and wind- I got nervous. You know? The sky gets that special 'blizzard grey' color. It almost gets a tiny bit warm and everything is very still. That's when you know something is about to strike. Low and behold, Colorado didn't let us down. We woke up to a blinding blizzard. I automatically worried about the roads. "We'll be fine" - said Daniel. Ha ha, honey have you ever driven in this? I mean like total white out. Don't know which way is up or down, left of right? Sure we'll be fine.

He checked his e-mail. RVU canceled school. His first snow day in 25 years! His FIRST one! I was shocked. It took coming to CO to understand the beauty of a snow day. We watched Elf and made yummy hot chocolate- it was awesome. Of course, Daniel studied the whole time, but what do you expect?

It really did snow constantly. Granted the roads were better Wednesday than they were Thursday and we really actually would have been ok on Wednesday. But when Thursday looked even more gloomy it was a whole different story. Daniel was amazed. Two snow days - in a row!

I have to admit that it wasn't Colorado's finest blizzard. There wasn't feet upon feet (that comes in the spring...). But the roads were a nasty shade of ice. I do love this state.

So here are the pictures Daniel took as he tromped around on his second snow day of his life: Don't you worry honey, there are more to come :-)
