Just so you're all not feeling sorry for us that we never get any "real" snow here, we had a gorgeous, huge-flake snowfall yesterday afternoon/evening. I had begun to feel bad for kids who lived here thinking they might never see snow, but this was reassuring. The fluffy flakes stuck on the trees, bushes, and buildings creating a beautiful snowscape.
The most unfortunate part of the snowfall was that it affected attendance at the Pack the Place Women's basketball game at Wake Forest (because obviously no one knows how to drive if there are white particles floating from the sky).As many of you probably know, (or at least any of you who watch SportsCenter), NC State's Coach Kay Yow died of breast cancer last month. She had an amazing career which included 700+ wins, 4 Conference Titles, and the opportunity to coach the 1988 Olympic gold medal team in Seoul.
In honor of her, Wake has been wearing these totally cute pink tie-dyed warm-up shirts (with the breast cancer ribbon purposefully upside-down so that it looks like a Y for Yow).Even though the snow kept some of the spectators at home, the women pleased those who were there with a win against Georgia Tech. And the kids that were there were doubly pleased since they didn't have to go to school today either!

Wow--what a great tribute. Breast cancer scares the bejezus out of me (too much family history there). But I take great solace in advances being made--and awareness being raised.
Enjoy your snow! I'm up in Ottawa, Ontario right now: today's high was -22 F. YIKES!!! (and why did I think packing a skirt was a good idea?)
