The Snow Day that lasted a week!

The Saturday after school finished, one week before Christmas, we woke up to snow.  It kept snowing, so we went out to play in it at about 9:30am.  By lunchtime, it had snowed another 6 inches.  It snowed the rest of the day.  We ended up with nearly a foot of snow, and it stayed cold through Christmas and into the next week, so the snow never got the chance to thaw out.  The kids had a great time in the snow, but we did get cabin fever.  The kids got scooters for Christmas, but couldn't even try them out because of the snow, ice, and slush outside!
