Is Jack Frost Unemployed Yet?!

It has been a crazy winter. I know others have been hit hard too, but I say enough is enough for all of us; let spring start!


A couple weeks ago the. The students had 2 snow days and 2 late starts because of  snow and ice storms. And that's not counting the TWO snow storms that hit during their President's Day long weekend! I am officially finished with snow, ice, cold, and winter!!! Hopefully we are about finished, but I have a hunch we have storm or two still before Spring will officially begin.

Despite the cold, snow, and damaging ice storm, I was able to capture some pictures of Jack Frost's artistry (and some of his destruction too):


 
You can see the weight of the ice pulling on the branches in this picture and the next one.


A large branch from the tree on the right broke off from the weight of the ice.
Sometimes, this is how we get scraped out:

Thankfully, this is how the student home and our driveways are scraped out:

Before Dan slipped on the ice, I was able to capture a beautiful sunrise from the student home where we were covering:
One of the snow days, this is what greeted the students when they woke up with their regular 6:00 am alarm:
Just one example of the humor we share with the students. Later in the day someone changed it to "you will be already are stupid."
Despite the groundhog's prediction, Spring can start any time now!!!
