Snow Day?!

My kids have been home from school for the past 1.5 days.  Why?  No they are not sick.  No, we don't have bad weather.   In fact, it was 45 and sunny this afternoon.  Why were they home?  Well, you see there was a possibility of getting 1-2 inches of snow sometime today which shuts down everything 24 hours beforehand.  Of course, if we happen to get the predicted 1 inch of snow (we didn't) school would be closed the following day as well.   It's our 7th winter out in the DC area and I still can't decide if their snow phobia is funny or annoying.  (We did have on VERY snowy winter - 65 inches which caused the entire city to shut down for THREE weeks!  Every other winter has topped out at 4-5 inches over the course of the entire season.)

Here is a very funny post about snow phobia in DC...

When it is, there is a GIF of Kermit flailing, with a caption that says "COMMENCE PANIC!"
