I would never (in a million years) have thought that we would have a snow day in Naples, Italy.
Today proved me wrong.
A Siberian Blast has brought the big chill to most of Europe. On our drive to school Monday morning, it started snowing. This was the view out the front door of the school a few hours later.
All after school activities were cancelled and everyone was encouraged to go home before it got dark and the temperatures dropped. The forecast called for below freezing temperatures (but no snow) which would ice up the roads.
A 2 hour delay was called for Tuesday.
Flash forward to this morning when I looked out my window.
To my surprise, there was a blanket of fresh snow on the ground. Here are 2 excited kiddos in our yard about 7:00.
We all loaded up into our Jeep Cherokee and headed out to base.
Just before we got to this point, we found out school had been cancelled. We decided to continue on to base and wait out the snow that was supposed to stop in a few hours.
The kids outside the school.
They were over the moon excited and I was asked, "Mom, why don't we have snow boots and snow pants?"
Answer: It NEVER snows in Naples!
My neighbor posted a pictures of her yard. That's our house in the background. :)
1:00 and the highway is drying up on our way home
Thankfully there was still snow to play with in our yard.
