"It was the night before Christmas and all through the house..."
Ok obviously it's no where close to the next Christmas but really isn't the only thing that pops into your head while reading that is waking up to beautiful covered white ground perfect and untouched?
Wellp it finally happened blog nation, College Station finally got some darn snow! (and we deserved it because seriously I think everywhere in America has now had a frost or two) It was a frigid painful week for all of us up in aggieland. While all of our friends in TCU, OU, Baylor, and so forth bragged about their 3 consecutive snow days (basicly their snow week) we braved the 7 degree wind chills to class all week long!
...Until, Friday!
Not only did I wake up to a "school is canceled" text I also woke up to SNOW!
update: we recently took down the Christmas lights
Anyways we went adventuring around our house to check things out and play and here's what we found!
the creek was frozen!
nick got nailed with a snowball or two which he deserved because this guy makes some mean snowballs that hurt
DUH we had a snow kiss picture
And even Jackie came out and braved the cold (which is a SUPER HUGE deal)
Nick made this mister snow man...and then smashed it
and then we tried out hand at sledding at the top of our parking garage! First we started with the top of storage bins, and, well, it didn't work too well but then with a little help from friends we broadened our horizons and opened up our sledding object imaginations...
and started using some pool floaties! Mine as well jet ski in the snow.
blow up turtle too, not as effective.
The next thing I knew the sun was out and our perfect powder melted away until there was only splotches of snow to remind us that yes, we really had some snow that just earlier that day.
All in all I'm sure the chilly temps are pissing off the Texas snow birds but it's sure making us college kids happy!
