It snowed for about two hours here in our corner of Alabama and our kids made the most of this free entertainment. For us, snow is a gift from the Lord. We see flakes maybe once or twice a year and when we do, we make mad dashes to the store to get bread and milk (for making biscuits I guess). We pick our kids up from school early. We make miniature snowmen.
This may seem quite silly to people in parts of the country where snow is dumped by the tons, but we here in the Deep South are not prepared. I lived in New York for four years during college and our first year of marriage, so I know what real snow is all about. Down here, roads don't get salted and no one knows what ice looks like on the road. So, we see snow as an unexpected vacation from responsibilities that would send us out driving to school or to work...even if there are only a few flakes on the ground.
