2 Times in 2 Weeks

Somehow it snowed again in the Birmingham metro area, less than 2 weeks after the eventful "snowpocalypse".  We only received a true dusting this time (although several places just north of us got 2 inches plus), but it was enough to make Big Sister very excited!  John went out with both kids to play for a bit before he headed to work.  They even made a cute little miniature snowman, who now lives in our freezer!

After "snowpocalypse" no one was taking any chances, so they actually cancelled school for 3 days, even though in the end, the roads were only icy for a few hours overnight Wednesday into early Thursday morning.  Thankfully the Governor declared a "state of emergency" during both events (the weather was much worse this go around over parts of north Alabama), so the school days missed will be forgiven.  Aunt Jamie was getting kind of nervous that they would have to  make the days up over spring break...that would be no fun at all!!

My cousin lives in Chattanooga and they got almost 7 inches of snow!!  When I saw how much snow was forecast in east Tennessee, I wanted to load the kids up and head to the River House, but unfortunately the roads were bad between here and there.  There are some great sledding hills around there; hopefully we'll catch some snow up there one day!
