"Snow" in Ashvegas


We had about 1/4 of an inch of snow yesterday, which meant that school was cancelled. My kids wanted to sled, but I said, “There’s not enough snow.” E said, “There’s not enough snow.” But, what do you know, some of the hood kids started sledding, so I guess there was enough snow.

Since I grew up in Georgia, you’d think I’d know that 1/4 inch is plenty, but I’ve been jaded by years living in the Colorado Rockies and Boston.

E grew up in Cleveland, so he finds Southerners’ snow reactions laughable. Rightly so. Our mailman had CHAINS on his tires yesterday. Good god. That’s one way to tear up the asphalt.

And my girl had no school again today because the fricking water pipes froze at her school. Je-zus.

    Guinness, the across-the-street doggie who thinks he owns my family too, is normally all black, but if you throw snow in the air, he tries to eat it. He’s not old, he’s just snowy!

    I grew up on the WIsconsin border and the idea that 1/4 an inch of show would cancel school is hilarious.

    They do the same thing here in California. ;)
