Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

That was the song I had stuck in my head all day yesterday. The weather.com site had promised 3-6 inches of fluffy soft snow.

However....

That is not what we got. We got sleet. :( Hard, frozen rain.

I was so hoping for soft fluffy snow. I wanted the boys (okay, and me) to play outside in that winter wonderland until we couln't stand the cold anymore.

I was dreaming of snowmen, snow forts and snow balls.

It reminded me of times as a child when I would wake up to a bright bedroom window and before even looking out the window I knew it had snowed overnight. You can just tell. The snow seems to brighten your room in a way nothing, including the scorching summer sun, can provide.

*sigh* Maybe next snow storm. After all, this is only the first real storm of the year.
