The Great Blizzard of 2010

02/14/2010 21:30

For as long as I can remember, every snowstorm in South Carolina has occurred in the same manner.  They begin by telling us that we will get a dusting on the grass, if we're lucky, and we end up with 5 plus inches.  This was no different.  They've promised us measurable snow a few times this season, with nothing materializing, yet.  This time, they said we would possibly get a dusting up to half an inch.  Then, as time got closer for the storm to arrive, we were told 1-2 inches, then 3-5, only to end up with 8 total.  It was due to arrive at 4pm on Friday, so naturally all schools and daycares closed between 1:30 and 3 without a flake even falling, yet.  Wesley picked all of the kids up early, so I was able to work my regular schedule.  When I left, there was already some accumulation, so I knew we were in for a good one.  We don't get it often, so I'm glad the kids were able to get out and enjoy it, even if they froze their little butts off.
