All Seattle Public Schools are CLOSED today, Thursday, December 18.

So I just found out there was no school today. Last night, there was a mix between hail and snow. It wasn’t snowing that much so I thought the schools would be cruel enough to send us off to school. But we don’t! But something scary happened…

I tried to go outside my room, but all of a sudden I saw a flash. At first, I thought it was some creep taking pictures or something, but it wasn’t. Then I heard “ROOMBOOMBANG!!” Oh yes… it was lightning! It was really loud and super scary. It was the first time I’ve heard lightning in Seattle this loud. It was freaky. After the lightning, I heard sirens. I’m not sure, maybe a car was hit… but then it stopped after 3 minutes. So I told Alex on Facebook about the thunder and siren noises. Just when I finished typing, I saw another flash. And this one was even bigger. The rumbling noise lasted about 5 seconds.

So now it’s foggy and it’s snowing HARD. And I’m glad, excited, and happy. C:

I wish it would continue to snow for the rest of the day. I just want it to snow, snow, snow! I don’t have to play outside today because I could always play tomorrow! My web-cam is on because I want to capture the glorious moment of lightning… but there hasn’t been one. :C

I closed the lights so it could see the flash. But you can’t see my face at all!

This is what’s happening outside my window! Isn’t it wonderful?
