*Snow Day*

I couldn't believe it when my phone rang this morning at 6:30. It was our school librarian (and also my team leader) calling to say that school had been cancelled. I had heard it raining/sleeting in the night, but I never heard any buzz last evening about the weather being bad enough to cancel school. What I love about when it snows in Texas is watching the news...first of all, the "on the scene reporters" (meaning the ones standing out in the weather) are literally ducking the snow/ice hitting their face while they talk. This morning one reporter stooped down and made a snowball and said, "The kids could have a lot of fun making a snowman today!" Another reporter said, "Dallas is already reporting 1/4" of snowfall." Now, I know that this is Texas, and that snow here is definitely a rarity, but, having grown up in Minnesota, it all makes me laugh so hard!! If the weather was like this in January in Minnesota, it would have been a normal day like usual...no school cancellations. And, if the low was only in the 20's (as opposed to the teens, single digits, or below zero), we might not have even needed to wear our snow pants! ;)
