A Big Disappointment

Last week, the subject of everyone's conversation was the amount of snow we were going to get.   4 to 6 inches (ALOT for around here).  We were so excited!  Friday came and the rain started...the storm was coming!  Friday 6 pm...still raining.  The weathermen said it would start snowing at 8 pm.  OK, as long as it's still coming.  8pm...still raining and much of our yard is under water.  Weathermen said it would start snowing at 10 pm.  "Its not going to snow, is it,"  I told Jeff.  

"Yes,"  he said.  "we will see snowflakes before we go to bed."  

10 pm...still raining.   Weatherman again put off the snow until 2 am.   Once again I told Jeff, "We aren't going to get any snow."  

"Yes," he said.  "The ground will be white in the morning."

I went to bed with this awful feeling that we were not going to get the snow we were promised.  This worried me a little because Alli's soccer game had already been canceled and she asked a friend to spend the night.  They had big plans about getting up in the morning, bundling up, and making a "snow girl." 

 

Well, guess what...we woke up, went to look out the window and saw...nothing.  It hadn't snowed one single snowflake.  The kids were disappointed, to say the least, and we spent the morning trying to explain why it hadn't snowed what it was supposed to.  "We live in Oklahoma,"  was the best explanation we could come up with (although much of western Oklahoma did get significant snow).  

About lunchtime, it did snow enough to cover the grass for about an hour.  

Yeah, the day did not go the way our Oklahoma kids wished it would have.
