Snow What???

I knew the day would come.... I just didn't know when. Snow. Not here, but in Omaha. Every person's facebook status' are blowing up with the first snow storm of the year.... winds blowing so hard you can't see, drive, or even go outside.

It is 71 degrees here today.

I am not trying to rub this in any ones face..... not trying to be evil about the weather here... but it IS December, right?? It does not feel like Christmas is just a couple weeks away.... it still shocks me that Thanksgiving has already come & gone. The chilly weather has been absent, and its absence is noticed. I started explaining what snow was to Brady today. Do you know how difficult it is to explain snow?

"It is this frozen water that falls on the ground, stacks upon itself, and makes it impossible to drive."

"It is really cold, and if you try & hold it, it melts into water in your hand"

"Lightly frozen rain"

None of these descriptions does snow justice.... not for someone that has never seen or felt snow before. Last Christmas, Austin & I made some videos of the snow so it would remind us on WHY we moved to Texas... these might help him learn what snow is.... a little...



Well.... I was telling my sister, Molly, about how HARD it is to describe snow to Brady.... do you know WHAT she told me about one of her friends facebook status's? "Someone was explaining sleds to me and all the different kinds of sleds there are out there. I never knew that there were so many! It sounds like snow can be lots of fun! Can't wait to see it!" This AMAZES me people!! AMAZES!
