Snow, there is more than we can see....

  Yes we have a lot of snow on the ground. Nope this area does not plan for snow because this is an area that honestly once in a great while only ever gets a dusting. The amount we have on the ground now is a freak of nature! I enjoyed watching facebook Sunday/Monday with all these people excited for the snow, excited to play in itm for their kids to play in it! To make snowmen, snow cream, snow forts, anything snow! It is now 3 days later and most of those same people are hating the snow and want it all gone now, they are d.o.n.e baby! Too bad it doesn't work like that...

 Monday was fun, everybody had a snow day!!! Kids loved having school off and playing outside. Many kids in the area and adults had snow cream for the first time ever! The mass posting of snow pictures was a lot of fun to look through. I enjoyed seeing how other people spent their fun time. Everybody was loving it!!

 Tuesday people started saying ya this is nice but now I have to drive to work in this?! crap!!! Schools were still closed so a lot of parents had to find other child care or stay home, I can understand that must be a pain in the butt. Still a lot of people were out again having snow much fun!

 Wednesday, it seems that the majority of people are hating the snow and wishing it gone. It's funny because weren't you all just saying how exciting snow was? It only comes here once in a blue moon and only sticks less often than that. Why not enjoy it while it's here? Why complain about something ou were so excited about? It's not like this is Ohio where there is snow on the ground for like 4 months straight...now those people get to complain some what.

  Our school systems have been out of school all week due to the snow we got Sunday/Monday night. It is understandable, Alabama is not an area that gets snow so they are not equipped to deal with it. Plowing and salting roads/parking lots costs more money than the city/state has in their budget, because again this area doesn't ever get snow so why budget for the freak snow storms? Trying to explain this to somebody who thinks that because people go to work kids should go to school, it simply is not that easy...better safe than sorry staying home than to risk a bus accident. It's easier for the city to keep schools closed than to spend money nobody has to make sure roads/parking lots are plowed. People have to go to work, that just has to happen. Businesses have to stay open because small businesses would die if they stayed closed, big businesses need special permissions from corprate offices to close... there is way more to it than what we see.

 I for one am enjoying waking up to snow every morning! I love that Ladybug gets up and puts her snowsuit on every morning and waits! I love how the kids pratice snow angels on the living room floor, or how the dogs run and jump and love it! I am enjoying this freak of nature while it lasts, so stop trying to ruin it with your complaints! It WILL melt at some point, sooner than most states (like Ohio gets another 2 months of this shit...) Have fun with it!
