First Snow Day of the season

We woke up to about 3 inches of snow on the ground and accumilated more as the day progressed. This is the first real snow for Sandra and Ta. This morning Sandra questioned me, "You mean we really don't have to go to school today because of the snow?"
That's right darlin!
SNOW DAY!!!!!!
