Snow Day?

If only the snow came sooner. Last night was every teenager's dream. A snow day. Or so we thought. The news declared 5-7 inches. Ya!!!. This means no school. This means stay up until 2 in the morning and don't do your homework. And this means a 4 day weekend. Then to my surprise I was woken up at 7:30. What?!! This must be a mistake. I looked out my window to assure myself it was a mistake and then I would calmly go back to my deprived sleep. Again so I thought. It was no mistake. Their was no frost on my window, no icicles hanging from the roof and NO SNOW!! The ground was brown and as bare as can be. My hopes plummeted to the ground. After gathering enough will power to get dressed and just enough to brush my teeth, I through my hair up in a bun and I walked out the door. It was horrible. Then at about 2:00 the snow finally decided to come. I ran walked out to the bus in about mid thigh deep snow. The temperature, however, was not cold. The roads were not plowed and we had a horrible bus driver. So I thought I would have a higher chance of survival if I walked home. Then the weather decided to turn cold and windy and once again to snow. Except it didn't really snow, it was too cold for that, the snowflakes turned to ice blocks. It took us about twice as long to get home, but I lived so I can't complain too much. At least now we have a fresh clean layer of snow to cover up the ugly brown grass.
