Well, the spring monster storm that had been predicted has arrived in Lincoln. It teased us on Saturday and Sunday with snow but the streets stayed wet overall. However, the full brunt of it hit on Monday, ironically the first day of spring. Public schools are already closed for spring break this week, but the university, which was supposed to start up again today following last week's spring break, closed down for the day. Evan was delighted that his school shut down after lunch.
When you live in an agricultural state, you're well aware of drought issues, so we're all rejoicing the arrival the moisture after a dry, mild winter. And when you haven't been able to do much sledding or build a snowman, you're also filled with glee. On the other hand, Dad, who insists we don't need a snowblower, is probably not as thrilled with shoveling 14" of wet, heavy snow. Mom kept the fireplace going, worked on homework and income taxes, and supervised from inside the house.
Evan is wiped out after shoveling, building a snow fort, sculpting a snowman, and sledding on his own personal sled hill, created in his backyard! Don't worry, he was revivied by hot chocolate with marshmallows and cartoons.
I guess we'll need to cancel our plans for that barbeque on the patio.
