Storm Day

We were all amazed to discover school cancelled Friday. It was a beautiful day, except for the fallen-tree-closed roads and power outages scattered throughout town. I drove Mali up to school since she was heavily laden with gifts and gingerbread house materials. We were a little early, so I didn't consciously notice the lack of cars, and there were people in the parking lot, but after reading the "school closed" sign four times it slowly dawned on me that the school was closed. Mali and I walked up later to deliver the presents, and happily her teacher was there to receive it in person.

It finally did snow for five minutes, but after it hailed hard for ten, leaving a nice sheen of white pellets available for snowballs. William and Lilly were over, and everyone trooped out to play.
