Big Snow

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Yesterday was a nice day.  The high was in the 50s.  In fact, most of the day it was sunny without any clouds.  If you had seen yesterday you would not have guessed what was coming today.  In the morning, Evan had bullpens at TRPD.  In the afternoon, Rachel and I went to the Domain to take her computer to the Apple Store for support.  We stopped at Whole Foods as well to get some things for a sandwich class today.  We picked up Hula Hut for dinner.

The weather forecast said that snow was likely for today.  But what does that really mean?  Everyone was pretty much just guessing some snow flurries.  When I got up this morning it was raining.  About 30 minutes later, I heard the boys tell Rachel they saw some snow.  Evan came running downstairs and out the door to look at the snow.  Noah went out too and Rachel and I followed a bit later.  It was more of a sleet than a snow.  Occasionally you'd see a big snowflake come down in it.  But within 30 minutes the sleet had turned into snow.  Thirty minutes after that, there were big massive snowflakes coming down and coming down hard.  

We'd be out for a little bit and come back in after we had seen the variations in the snow.  Each time, we brought Chewie out with us.  The boys would run with Chewie down into the cul-de-sac. Chewie loved it.  When the snowflakes were big, he tried to eat it.  At one point, Noah made a snowball.  He was holding it and Chewie tried to eat it.  

Neighbors and kids were all out looking at the snow or playing in the snow.  I think we ended up getting about an inch of snow in total.  Maybe slightly more.  By late afternoon, though, much of the snow in our yard was gone.  Between the boys using much of the snow for snowmen and the melting snow, there wasn't much left.  There was snow on the rooftops and on cars still.

Rachel and I had a couples sandwich class at 2pm.  A company that offers memberships to couples to participate in online events and take online classes reached out to her.  They offered us this free class to take in exchange for a social media post.  There were 4 other couples on along with the chef who was in New York City.  He talked about the history of sandwiches, we debated about whether the hot dog was a sandwich and he showed us how to make an Instagram-worthy sandwich.  He was very personable and led the couples in discussions.  We enjoyed ourselves.

For dinner, we just ate leftovers and the boys had sandwiches from the meat we had bought.

The boys are upstairs playing now.

Until next time...
