Needless to say, Andy was livin' it up.
We went out for Valentines, and when we left - the roads were clear, the snow was sticking a little on the grass, but nothing much to worry about. Right after we got our food, we got a call from Chadd (thanks Rozmus's for watching the kiddos!!!) saying their power was out and wondering if we were in the same situation at the restaurant. Luckily, everything was fine at Kovachi's... We were however, the only ones there for the first 20 minutes or so... but then some other crazy's came and joined us for a night out in the winter weather. By the time we got our bill, there were cars sliding all over the road right out the window, one accident, and 2 cop cars trying to help out all the stuck folks. Our poor waitress lived far away, and had never driven in snow before. (we gave her a few tips before we left... she was freaking out, and I was right there with her) On the way back to the Rozmus's to pick up our kids, the car behind us going down the hill on main street almost rear ended us, but luckily slid of onto the curb instead. There were about 7 or 8 cars that had slid off the side of the road, and lots of trucks just spinning there wheels. The sweet missionary's were out pushing trucks up the hills. (I said a silent prayer right then that none of my boys would ever do that on there missions... I could just see the trucks sliding back over them...) I yelled out the window to them, saying "BE CAREFUL!!!" and they assured me they were, all the while wearing huge grins across their faces. Like I said, snow is a really big deal here. We finally got the kiddos, and made it home safely.
Then next morning the kids and Andy made a few snowmen. Stella was in heaven along with her daddy!
Snow: thank you for coming and making Andy so happy. He turns into a giddy adventurous little kid when you come and fall gently on us. You are welcome any time... unless we have travel arrangements... during those times please stay up north where you really belong. Oh yeah... and thanks for the crazy fantastic memories this valentines weekend!

Oh my, snow is fun, when it comes Carolina style. Short lived. Glad that Andy and Stella got to have a little fun with it.
dude, you can KEEP the snow, we don't need it this north! ;o). The lower 48 has gotten more snow than US this year!
How cool! You guys now have more snow than we do:)
