Snow Sucks...A lot.

 This winter has been brutal.  Like the worst ever.  Or at least that's what I hear from the locals.  Certainly the worst of my 7 winters here.  Or is it 6?  Feels like 65, so really, that's irrelevant.
 The kids had 7 cancelled school days and half a dozen delayed openings as we watched ourselves become suffocated by snow.  And their Spring Break shrunk to two days. 
 Brutal. 
 It stopped being fun after about day 3.   Because windchill temperatures were in the negatives, for weeks....months...years????!?, snow play was forced to be kept minimal.  And thus, lots and lots of days cooped up indoors ensued.
Bruuuuutaaalllll.
 The kids' school janitor did try to make the best of a crappy six month situation.
  Then, theeeennnn, last week, on a blessed Saturday, the sun shone and the skies warmed to a balmy 49 degrees.  And you would have thought it was July.  In Georgia. 
 It was 26 degrees the next day.  
But, we have nearly survived it.  I mean, it's suppose to be below freezing and snowing this week, but bring it. 
Spring will come.  Because the church is true. And that is all.
