Ok, ok... so we didn't experience the Snowpocalypse of 2014 as hard as our friends up north.... but us southerners had some testing times too! We got several snow falls and LOTS of bitter cold days. It's not fun waking up in NC to a high of 19! We loved the first big snow fall that was about 5 inches- that is a big deal for down south!! After the first big snow, we were quickly over the snow and over winter. Too bad the groundhog said otherwise.
Raleigh did experience what replaced "Gridlock" several years ago.... and was named Snowmageddon. Nick got to experience a very long ride home that day, even after leaving work at the sign of the first snowflake.
Camille enjoyed her many delays and days off school, though we were all very welcome to get back in a normal routine after some time. On a selfish note, I've been so ready for my travel not to be affected by weather delays, cancellations, and reroutes!
As negative as all this may sound, we did get to enjoy some fun in the snow too. Camille loved sledding.... the going downhill part, not so much the pulling it back up. Though I think her favorite part was eating the snow. We warned her of what snow was dirty, etc but she didn't seem to mind her parents too much on that subject. She did make some great snow angels. We did make an attempt at a snowman.... the snow was so icy that it was tough to form, so we aimed for a melted snowman look instead.
