The picture shown below was taken a few days later when the sun came out. It is not often the creek freezes, but it was cold enough long enough this year to freeze the moving water (at least on the top).

Snow Day!!!
Ever since Jennifer first saw the movie, "Snow Days" she has wondered if she would ever experience one. We've told her not to count on it since the school district here rarely cancels school because of snow. I think the last time they did was over ten years ago. Well, today Jennifer got her wish. We received about 3 inches of snow overnight which usually isn't a big deal but there was a layer of black ice under the snow which made the conditions treacherous. When she heard Channel 7 announce this morning that all of the Boise Schools would be closed today she let out a great big "Yippee!" She spent most of the day playing in the snow, having snowball fights with her friends, and shoveling our big driveway :). I hope the day was all that she had imagined it would be. She certainly was tired when she crawled into bed tonight. I can remember what it was like to have a snow day. There was always something magical about them.

Yes, indeed...fond memories of staying up late on a wintry evening--hoping and praying that
WAMS would include the Alfred I. DuPont School District in its announced list of school closures. And then the thrill of waking up in the morning with reflections off the snow filing each room in the house with incredible light. Not much chance of my kids experiencing this in Arizona!
