This morning shortly after getting to work, it started snowing real big snowflakes. Tommorow will be the first day of May, and we are getting snow. This past weekend was crazy as well. On thursday, I thought that all the snow was done for the year and that Sydney would not be able to see when she returned from Oklahoma. Boy was I wrong, on Friday, they let us go home from work early because the road were getting real bad. By the next morning, we had set a record. This was the most snowfall recorded for so late in the year- 15.5 inches in a 24 hr period. But on our side of town we had 22 inches total. The 24 hr period started at midnight and went to midnight, so that didn't account for alot of the snow that already started or fell after that. Anyway, Saturday after Mike and I shoveled the drive we decided to make a Snowman family for Sydney to return to. This family decided they didn't want kids, as Mike and I got tired and ran out of time when it came time to make the kid snowman. Off to Mike's hockey game we went and then when we returned some 4 or 5 hrs later, they were melting. Yep melting. Around 7 the woman snowman fell, then around 9:30 that night I was outside with the sun shining working on fixing the man snowman, so my poor daughter might have a chance to see it when she returned on Monday. I was giggling, because it was 9:30 at night, I was in flip flops, tank top and capri's in the snow trying to fix a snowman. Pretty ironic huh!
After all that. The Snowman fell down in the middle of the night and my daughter didn't get to see the Snowman family. But she was suprised by all the snow when she returned. Life in Alaska. Who would have thunk!
