Encouraging the Snowfall...

We have heard some pretty strange traditions folks around here have to "make it snow." 

Something about flushing icicles was one of the oddest.  Around here, there are very few icicles so we can't do that--it's just not usually cold enough for icicles to form before it snows.  So we have to resort to other means.

Luci's Sunday School teacher told us one method...besides prayer, I mean...it involves spoons and pajamas. 

Here's what you do:

The night before you want it to snow, put on your pajamas inside out.  Then, put a spoon under your pillow and go to sleep.

It worked!  Thursday night Luci and I camped out in the living room (those sleep issues again! she still needs company), wore our pajamas inside out, and put a spoon under each of our pillows. 

We got 3/4 of an inch of snow...enough to delay school opening for 2 hours.  Yes, we live far enough South that even a tiny bit of snow just about shuts things down.  Here are Luci's pink cheeks after playing outdoors.

 Well.  Guess what is predicted for this coming week?  Perhaps another HUGE snowfall!  Depending on where the low pressure system tracks, we will have anywhere from 2 inches to TEN inches of snow! 

Guess what I found Luci putting under her pillow?  If one baby spoon gives you 3/4 inch, then this ought to bring on the heavy stuff!
