Our First Snow Day!


Well, not totally. The kids were sent home early due to the amount of snow that fell today. We woke up to a lot on the ground, but it continued to fall all day long. We had 6 inches fall. It was wet and heavy. The Dutch are not used to this, so they are not very prepared. Ironically, they use their snow plows to clear the bike paths before the roads. I attempted to ride my bike to the store, but after slipping twice I thought it would be smart to walk the bike home. I still had to go out a few times for small errands and at times it was blizzard like conditions. I will admit that once everyone is home safe and you are warm inside, it is very beautiful to see out the window.
