The Snow Mystery

Sometimes when there is a winter storm in this area the schools will get called off, and when you look out the window and see a dusting of snow, you go "Huh, what snow?" Well, last night we drove home from the mountains of West Virginia in a snowstorm, and I am now convinced that my house is in a little bubble that is protected from snow. It snowed the entire way and the boys were getting so excited. They were convince they would arrive home to a winter wonderland. Going through Mooresville just north of here, there was a good 4 inches on the ground and it was still coming down hard. As we approached uptown Charlotte heading south, the snow lessened and there was maybe and inch or two. Once we got through uptown, the snow stopped and it was 32 degrees. When we excited the interstate, it was clear that there was to be no snow at our house. Talk about two very pissed off boys. The only saving grace was that they had spent the whole day skiing in the snow. Sometime during the night we got dusting of sleet, but our snow bubble remains a mystery.
