For several days, the folks at the National Weather Service have been predicting snow for our area and saying that we'd receive the most snow this morning. Last night Zachary's seminary teachers called to say that this morning's seminary class was cancelled. We set our alarm for an hour later than usual, and when it went off, Lance got up to check the school district's website. Sure enough, school was cancelled, too. Once it got light outside, we looked out to see just how much snow was on the ground and roads. Nothing. Not one flake of snow (except what was left over from last week's minor dusting). Yet, school was cancelled. Surely it'll snow before the morning's over, we thought. We were wrong. No snow all day. Not one flake until tonight when we received a slight dusting--a slight dusting like the dusting of powdered sugar I put on lemon bars.
I just checked the weather forecast and discovered that because the Seattle area is "shadowed" by the Olympic Mountains, we were spared the snow our neighbors to the north and south got. The threat of snow has passed for now. Hopefully, the kids will be able to go to school Thursday and Friday before going on break for the rest of the year.

Wow, cool! I like the part about lemon bars... :)
Hahaha, the same thing happened to us today! Except we got some nice snow yesterday!!! :D:D:D:D:D
We got enough snow this week that on Tuesday the buses wouldn't bring our kids home up the hill. Again yesterday morning we had enough that the kids waited for the bus for 20 minutes before coming back home for a ride to school. We heard that the bus did come, just very late. St. George had a little snow and all their schools were closed. Our kids want to know just how much snow we have to get to get a snow day. The only time school was let out for us growing up here was because the furnace quit--not ever for snow. I guess we're just tougher here!
