Give us an Inch...

 While we were watching the news last night, the man (North Carolina native) had a good chuckle watching Austinites making muddy snowmen and sliding down slushy hillsides.  But In my mind was an ideal winter storm.  Listening to my children laugh outside while they were having an hour long snow ball fight was a treat indeed.  It ended when they were too tired and cold to stand it...but not because they were bickering.  It was a snowy miracle.  You might think it's funny that many Austinites left work early yesterday because of the snow...but at least at our house, it wasn't for safety's sake...but to play in it and catch it on our tongues, to let it burn our faces with a sweet coldness that we rarely get to experience around these parts.  Today is back to 55 degrees and sunny. Yesterday almost seems like a dream....
