Snow? and Snow

So imagine my surprise when on Monday BEFORE 5pm all schools, courts, banks, businesses, etc.. started closing for Tuesday because we were going to get hit with the big one.
Yes folks, the dreaded snow...in Virginia...where rain can cause serious and deadly traffic snafu's...white stuff was going to fall. Not just a dusting either...

3 to 5 inches!

The boys were thrilled! They have been dying to build a snowman for months now (sorry that never happens, here boys) they went to bed Monday night with the promise of white stuff when they woke up Tuesday morning.
Mike was less than thrilled. Mike was scheduled for evening shift Tuesday-the above mentioned rain gives him a big enough headache during his shifts-snow (and INCHES of it) was going to be a nightmare!
Tuesday morning we raced to the windows...

NOTHING!

Checked the weather and yes it's coming any minute now boys we promise (sorry Mike) the weather channel says we're still in a Winter Storm Warning and NC is getting hit-it's coming!!!!

But all day Tuesday we waited and nothing. Not one flurry or flake...

Today we head off to story time for none other than-yup you guessed it a "SNOW" themed story time! Poor kids-talk about getting let down then having to be reminded of it the next day-ha ha!

They had fun though reading about snow and they loved making their snowmen-they may not be real "snow" snowmen but the packing peanut variety worked out just fine in their little eyes!
