Snowstorm 2008

  It’s been quite a winter!!  A snowstorm hit our valley, which the news called “The Arctic Blast”!  Well, it was quite a Blast!!  We haven’t had snow like this in YEARS!  But this was much more extreme than the last one we had!  Let’s just say we had 2 feet of snow!!! I was ecstatic!!!  I’ve always wanted to have snow like this during Christmas…especially as I child!  I would daydream of it every time I heard “Sleigh Ride”!   “It’ll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives” ~~~~~~~~~~ Well, there was no sleigh ride, but my dad and I got to take a walk to the grocery store, since we were snowed in.   What an adventure!  Doing this with my dad made me think of the stories he told us about when he was a little boy.  My dad lived in the good old days, the 1930’s.  He always told us that there was no such thing as school closures when it snowed.  They would just walk to school, like any other day. ~~~~~~~~~~ There may have been a little bit of “Cabin Fever” amo
