Flat Kalyn & Snow


My 8 year old sister, Kalyn, has been reading Flat Stanley at school and each student sent a "Flat ____(Kalyn)" to different parts of the world. We had to write about Flat Kalyn's activities at our house and then mail her back. In Kalyn's book, she told us how she became flat (she was playing and the TV fell on her) and she made sure to give us instructions not to let Duke or Roxy rip her up.


1. Snow in TN = rare.
2. Any snow that covers the ground = very rare.
3. Snow that lasts for 3 days = extremelyl rare.
Results: School is cancelled for 4 days, half the town shuts down, stores run out of milk, bread & apparently PopTarts.
This view looked rather normal to us.


Duke & Roxy didn't mind the snow.
The next day it got warm so quickly in the morning that all the snow and ice melted off the trees within 2 hours and it looked like it was raining in our backyard for 2 hours straight from everything melting so quickly. Something I've never seen before. The ice falling on our roof from the trees above made me wonder if the roof might fall in.
