Yep, that's it. Meteorologists dubbed the latest snow event a "Sandwich Storm". Hmmm, was that one storm? It started to snow heavily on Wednesday night and into Thursday morning, continuing throughout the day. Then, it warmed up a bit and turned into a sleet storm, after which temps plunged and moisture reverted back to another nighttime snowfall. Aubs and Gav arrived at dusk on Thursday for a Valentine's Day sleepover. Overnight, WE WERE PUMMELED and awakened to about sixteen inches of the white and not-so-fluffy stuff.
We thought that was it, but it turned into a triple-decker… you know, kind of like a turkey club sandwich. Old Sol teased us for a few hours, yesterday. We went to bed, confidently dreaming of sunshine that would once again color our temporary black 'n' white world with cerulean blues and shades of yellow, returning it to what we perceive as normal.
Not to be… this morning, we're being deluged once again. Another six to eight are anticipated, forcing us to cancel plans to meet with our upstate GrandLoves, though an even better plan for a several-day stay is on the horizon. Thing is…
We enjoyed Valentine's Eve and Day with Aubs and Gav. We crammed boatloads of activities into a day, that's for sure. Gramps dusted off the four-wheeler and pulled the sled, when they tired of climbing the mountain of snow created by the snow plow. Aubs cooked a real chicken 'n' biscuit dinner and learned how to make lemon-meringue pie. Gav executed morning pancakes and made cinnamon rolls from extra pie dough. We watched "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2". Both sweethearts created beautiful and thoughtful art projects for their parents and for us, confirming that love, indeed, does grow.
I am feeling especially grateful to have my Special Valentine to spoil me with affection, after last year's scare. Giving thanks.
Belated but nonetheless Happy Hearts to y'all.
♥♥
