The Slick Road to School – PSF/GMYBS

Thursday, February 3, 2011 by Lolli 32 Comments

On Wednesday, instead of the freezing rain and sleet we were supposed to get, we had near-50 degree temps and rain. The rain melted about half of the snow that had covered the ground for the last week. Yesterday, when I walked the kids to school, the road to the school was a river. Water was running down the path and no one was safe from getting wet.

I didn’t think about the consequences of overnight temperatures in the 20s until I got a message from the crossing guard, a neighbor of ours. AJ slipped and stumbled his way to school on the 2-inch-thick ice that covered the path this morning. And I had sent the kids to walk together while I stayed home. Oops.

I assisted on the walk home, and wouldn’t you know it? The kids thought that having their school path turned into an ice rink was just about the coolest thing ever. So cool that AJ convinced me to go back out.

I wore out long before he did.

Despite the dangers of slipping, it was quite an awesome sight.

PS – The walkways on actual school property are just fine. Salted and cleared. The icy paths are county responsibility.

    I’m looking forward to the thaw, that’s for sure! Thanks for coming by!

    Friday, February 4, 2011 at 3:30 pm

    Yep. He didn’t want to come back inside!

  6. Lolli says

    Friday, February 4, 2011 at 3:29 pm

    That’s a good idea. I’m sending them to school on Monday wearing helmets and knee pads. :)

    I’ll trade you for a day. Are you game? :)

    Friday, February 4, 2011 at 3:22 pm

    Where are you with snow and 70 degree temps? Crazy is right!

  9. Lolli says

    Friday, February 4, 2011 at 3:21 pm

    You got lucky to dodge the snow! Enjoy the rain. Heehee. :) I can’t wait for Spring either!

    You’re perfect. Actually, the red x appears so that you can delete or edit your own links. Nobody else sees the x. :)

    Your very own ice skating rink – that’s a great way to look at it. :) I love the jumping shots and the footprints. AWESOME!!!

    P.S. I’m not sure if I linked up right or not. My thumbnail is there, but there’s a red x. Hmmmm…that can’t be good. Here’s my link just in case you need to fix it or can tell me how to fix it. https://writingthewavesmama.blogspot.com/2011/02/photostory-friday-and-balloon-guy.html Thanks!

    We got over a foot of snow which turned into over three feet after drifting!

    Love the ice! That would be neat to play on the ice. I loved doing that as a kid. It was the closest I got to ice skating. :) We had the rain here and it is raining today. It snowed all around us last night in other cities, but we are good. I am kinda glad about that cause I am ready for Spring.

    What great photos!!! You know…I wouldn’t have thought of walking them to school either…WHOOPS!!!!! LOL

    The weather really has been absolutely nutso – we actually got 70 degree temps. We haven’t had much snow on the ground, but it’s crazy…and this is definitely the kind of weather that makes people sick. Nonetheless, looks like you guys had a great time!

  18. Jenny says

    So neat! I really enjoy living winter through your photos…we are in the 80s and wearing short sleeves. I want a snow day! ; )

    Good Lord, I would break my neck walking on that! The kids need to wear a helmet just to walk to school! lol ;-) But then, living in Florida, we don’t know much about walking on icy roads.

    Great photos! Love the action shot of your son jumping in the air!

  20. Natalie says

    Friday, February 4, 2011 at 3:26 am

    Definitely an icy road! WOW! Looks like the little guy had fun though! Nothing like a play in the snow(/ice!) :D

  21. Sarah says

    That is a lot of ice. Hope the temperatures warm up soon and all the snow melts and stays away. Great photos!

    I can see your link and picture. Maybe it just took a minute to update? Thanks for linking, by the way!! :)

    i don’t know why my URL isn’t there :( have a great weekend!

    I witnessed no less than 6 kids fall this afternoon. It was so sad!

  25. Lolli says

    Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 9:24 pm

    Want to know something interesting? Those footprints were old. The snow has been iced over, so AJ was walking on top of the snow. I was heavy enough to make new footprints but not him. But when I saw him walking near the footprints, I saw the leading lines and HAD to take a dozen shots. :)

  26. Lolli says

    Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 9:22 pm

    SO true. I have to be pretty dedicated and really wanting a picture to get out in the snow with my kids! :)

  27. Dina @ 4 Lettre Words says

    Made for some cool photos, tho! :)

    That ice is so scary looking!

  29. Honey Mommy says

    Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 8:06 pm

    Wow! That icy path looks treacherous but photographically appealing.

  30. Cecily R says

    Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 7:56 pm

    Those ice pictures are so interesting and cool (no pun intended). My favorite though is the one with AJ’s back to the camera and his footprints in the foreground. Such a sucker for a back shot of a kid. :)

    P.S. I ALWAYS wear out faster than my kids. How am I getting that old?

  31. Coffee Break Mama says

    Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 7:34 pm

    I always wear out long before the kids do – and they’re lucky if they can get me out in any sort of snow :) Love that smile in the last photo!
