Winter Weather Storm Blast

Hermitage - St. Pete Red Square - Moscow

Now this is what I consider a "WWSB"! Russia Pic

WOWZERS!

Oh yes, the news had me in a bit of a "tizzy" today as I tried to figure out when I should pick Luke up from preschool.... Baba rang to report the terrible weather where she was as the TV was telling me that we were experiencing a WINTER WEATHER STORM BLAST. And I'm just sitting around the house trying to figure out what in the world WINTER WEATHER STORM BLAST means? Well, after 31 years of being a Texan and some deep thinking today, I think I've maybe got it figured out.... A WWSB can mean icy patches on the sides of roads caused by overnight sprinklers, ice on bridges and overpasses resulting in all out panic, horrific driving & CITY WIDE CLOSINGS or the occasional "oops we totally missed and thought it was going to be a WWSB - instead we have sunny skies & light rain." But, today it meant a sleet/snow mix that allowed for a pretty good snow ball fight, lots of fun & some yummy hot cocoa afterwards. We didn't have enough to build Frosty, but we'll hope for that when the weather channel tells us we are going to have another WWSB.

Oh, and for our little Russian snow baby (who got shorted an hour or so of preschool today because of the Texas WWSB), I have added some pictures of what I think a real WWSB would look like - in Russia of course!
