Mother Nature......the Tease!

Ok, Mother Nature. That was so not funny. I know it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, but that was just dirty! Sunny and 70 at Sunday lunch, windy and chilly that afternoon, cold on Monday, and SNOW on Tuesday!

Well, obviously the weather is having hormone issues. Hot flashes, storms, the "cold shoulder". However, we did try to make the best of it. Tuesday morning, while waiting on the roads to thaw, we all went outside and played in the snow! I've got the pictures to prove it. We probably got around 3-4 inches. They first predicted about 6-8 but Dan Skoff revised his forecast at 10:00 Monday night.

Here are our pictures:

Alpha loves making snow angels. The problem is when she makes them at the beginning of the snow outing instead of the end. She gets all wet and snowy and then complains of being cold. :)






Here is her completed snow angel. Isn't it a good one? She even said it could look like bells. She's very creative.







Here is Beta showing off the snowy slide. I convinced them NOT to slide down it. This is also a picture where I used some new-found photography knowledge. I used my flash outside during the daytime! This lit up Beta's face so that you could actually see it in the photo.





Not to be outdone, here is Beta's snow angel. Hers is pretty good, too. And smaller and so cute!







To finish her tease, Mother Nature made the temperatures hit 40. So by 5:00 that afternoon, it was all melted! Not fair!

You know, honestly, NWA keeps having these near-misses so much that I don't believe them any more. Oh, it might snow that much, but the snow on Tuesday was all powder. No ice. So driving was completely normal, if only a little slushy.

Hi. I just ran across your blog. Glad to see other NWA mommy bloggers!

I think the weather guys and the grocery stores are in cahoots. Each time they predict snow I go buy a load of groceries!

But the weather has been crazy even for NWA.
