still hopeful for a snow day

remember just a few days ago when i mentioned spring was on its way?  i retract some of what i said there.  i was ready for spring, and i still am, but when the threat of a decent snow storm started to linger in the forecast, i jumped on the snow train.  granted, the original forecast may have suggested a larger accumulation, i was mostly satisfied in knowing that it became pretty clear at the start of the week that we would be getting at least some appearance of snow.  and suddenly, i began pairing all my tweets with #stillhopefulforasnowday.  why not, right?

tuesday i left the office saying, "see you thursday," to my office plant.  why?  still hopeful for a snow day.

tuesday night wearing nice, warm, wool socks and my snow boots.  why?  still hopeful for a snow day.

tuesday evening getting excited to see early signs of falling snowflakes.  why?  still hopeful for a snow day.

tuesday evening hoping to see a change in the three hour delay for work.  why?  still hopeful for a snow day.

the beauty of giant snowflakes being caught in the glimpses of headlights is just  charming.  if only i had the talent to capture those moments with my pretty, little iphone, but i cannot.  hopefully you had an opportunity to enjoy those views for yourself!

it seemed to snow all through the night and i snuck a little peak through my blinds as soon as i woke up (without an alarm...the joys of a three hour delay).  those are the moments i feel like a kid as i anxiously walk to the window in my slippers, hoping to see a blanket of whiteness over everything.  still hopeful for a snow day. 

though there was a pretty layer of white, the roads were bare.  alas, three hour delay it was.  and that's okay.  a quiet day at the office, lunch with friends who were gifted a snow day, and a movie with a couple of the girls.  that's an okay day in my book.

how did you spend your snow day (or delay!)?!?!
