Snow Day

This morning, I woke up to kids laughing and screaming. I couldn't figure out why, so I just rolled over & went back to bed. At 11am, I decided to get up since I had to go to class. Lo and behold, snow! Tons of it! OK, well, tons of it in the Welsh sense. Freddy & I decided we needed groceries (& he needed the pharmacy as he has the flu) so we walked to Killay. Remembering that I had class at 2pm, I called some of the people to see if they were going - buses were not running between the village & the uni, so I would have to walk 2.5 miles in the snow. We decided not to go because of the weather. Come to find out, the uni was closed anyway and her professor failed to email us! Oh well. I have a snow day! Here are some pics of Swansea, actually covered in snow!

Looking out my window; Stefan's car is covered.

Looking out over the village from the hill our house sits on.

The road to Killay was icy - very few cars drove towards town.

Sketty Road, heading towards the university. The roads are all downhill from there, so I cannot imagine riding a bus in it as everyone was having tire problems!

Our village in snow.
