What did you do on your snow day?

That was the question of the day on Valentine's day here. Answer...I studied! But I had something to look forward to...Summer in Australia!!! I am leaving for the airport in just a few minutes but I wanted to post a few pictures from the winter storm from the past week. If you don't hear from me for the next 10 days don't worry. I am alive...I'm just on the other side of the world.
 
I took this picture at the height of the storm. You can't really tell ice is falling from the sky. I was looking forward to going out and playing in it but I decided against it. I had to go outside to move my car so It would not be covered in snow from the snow plow. I was out there for about 10 minutes and that was enough for me. I like snow, but ice is no fun.
 
You know how in the south people paint thier windows at Christmas time to look like they have snow on them. Well...I had the real thing. This is the snow on my window seal.
 
This is the snow on Thursday night. It is not as much snow as chuncks of ice. We can walk right on top of the snow without even sinking into it because it is so hard. It's not fun to try to get your car out of this kind of stuff. Posted by Picasa

Super Bowl...ATS style

 
Katie and Jamila displayed the pre-game snacks. Notice the festive football brownie, complete with icing laces!

We had a great time in our tiny little apartment. The party started with about 6 of us but we somehow ended up with about 15 at one point I think. It was great fun. Lots of laughs were had by all! I only have one question though. Does Prince ever get older? I must say this was the best half time show that I have seen in awhile.

 
A Super Bowl party wouldn't be complete without pizza and wings(and we had lots of them!)
 
Yeah, enough of the game. Now time for the counseling students to analyze the rest of us.
 
Stacy, Amy, and Seoki got bored with the game pretty quickly. Amy moved on from trying to figure out how the blue and yellow lines worked to trying to win a game of ERS. I don't think she ever did either one.
 
Faithful till the end. Posted by Picasa
