Well, it snowed...

Yes, that's right. It snowed. Despite my effort to emit negative brain waves into the upper atmosphere to avert the possibility of snow and another snow-make up day, my magical powers just aren't strong enough yet. It was such a blow to my ego this morning when I realized that my magic brain waves had not worked after all because I awoke to the 6am phone call from the automated school telephone service telling me to go back to sleep because we weren't going to have school today. It had snowed. (Remember when I liked snow just a few posts earlier?)

I have to admit, and you may think I'm weird, but I was bit disappointed that we weren't going to school today. I had my lesson plans ready, I was going to be observed by the principal, I wanted to go to hip hop class (which was canceled because of the snow), and I'm tired of being in the Ice Palace.

Regardless of my initial reaction, the snow is beautiful and it was nice to spend several hours in Caribou enjoying a soy chai tea latte and grading those stacks of King Arthur papers that I have been avoiding. It was sort of like having the teacher workday that is going to get taken away from me later this month. It's not all bad to have a snow day, but it's better to have a two-hour delay--we don't have to make it up AND we get to school 30 minutes before lunch. Word. Tomorrow is going to be such a great day!

Lots and lots of icicles...







And the first signs of spring hidden just below those snowflakes...
