Snow Day!

Briley and Maddox saw their first snow on February 12, 2010! It was the first time Britt and I had seen snow in about 10 years, too!
Schools were closed and Britt stayed home from work for a little over 1/2 the day!

We waited all morning for the snow to arrive. At one point, Maddox got down on his knees and prayed "God, please let it snow in Mobile, Amen".

It was beautiful when it finally came. It snowed pretty steadily (with a little rain mixed in) for a little over an hour, then off and on for another hour or so. It stuck on the grass for just a little while.
What a rare treat!

Maddox was disappointed that he couldn't build a snowman. Some Mobilians drove a few miles north to let their kids play in the snow. The northern parts of the county got 2-4 inches! We probably would have done that if Briley had been a little older.
Maddox was also not feeling very well. When we got inside, I realized he had a fever.

What a year it has been so far! Bama won the national championship, the Saints won the superbowl, and it snowed in Mobile!
