Sandal Weather

So today is our LOOOOONGEST day of the week.

Typically we leave the house at 7:30am and then get home around 9:30pm. Today being Daylight Saving’s Time – it coulda been horrific, BUT….my in-laws decided to re-arrange the service schedule and only have one service at 11am today and that meant that we didn’t have to even wake up until 8am and then we left at 9:30am…..so SO nice.

On these LOOOOOOOONG days, we usually go over to Jon’s parents house and put the kids down (and ourselves) for an afternoon nap. I LOVE SUNDAY AFTERNOON NAPS…..when you eat a delicious lunch and then crawl into a cold bed and it gets all warm and snuggly and you feel so delicious…..Mmmmmm!

Any way, we all went down to their basement and crawled in our beds. it wasn’t a super nice day today, but it wasn’t a horridly dreary rainy wet day either. It was bright and dry and just a little chilly.

There are no windows in this basement and so it’s nice and dark. We went to sleep and when we woke up – BOY! Were we in for a huge shock.

There was almost 2 inches of snow on the ground. It was absolutely dumping big fat heavy clumpy drops of snow. It had started after we went to sleep. It was so bizarre to have woken up that morning, slipped some sandals on and thrown a sweater over your shoulders and headed off for the day and then to be needing snow boots, or at the very least, just a pair of shoes……

We drove home tonight wondering what the weather would be like out here, because we are further inland and……NOTHING. Not even a skiff of snow…..but one report said that the low tomorrow could be down at -14. And here we are just 2 weeks from Spring. Too funny!

What was the weather like today, where you’re from?
