SNOW DAY!

Snow in Alabama! Can you believe it!?!?!?!? So for the past few days the weather guys/gals and news have been all over this "big storm system" heading our way. it's gonna be HUGE they said! 2-4 inches! they covered the story ALL freakin' night! need bread milk or batteries??? don't even think about it. already cleared out! they said the snow should start around midnight. brad and i were cracking up because all the news stories were things like... emergency shelters going up, talking to town sherrifs and mayors about what they were doing to prepare for the snow. salt trucks were standing by, and they were explaining what chains were (snow chains for tires to create more friction and make driving safer in snowy conditions). We were just amazed by how many people were freaking out about this. anyways.... i woke up 3 times to go to the bathroom throughout the night... (not anything unusual anymore...) and every time peeked out the window to see.... NO SNOW! i was so dissapointed when we finally got up around 7:30. BUUUUUTTTTTTT then, it started to flury, and then it started to come down heavier, and then it was really snowing and started to stick! OH YEAH! we had snow! I got ready for my day out with a girlfriend and brad got the kids ready to play in the snow! they had so much fun making a couple of snowmen. just to let you know how paranoid people were... most of the stores we headed to were closed due to the "storm". i don't know how much snow we really got, but it was all gone by noon, 1 at the latest. and we never had a problem with visibility. Simply hillarious!
