Best snow day. Ever

So, school was closed again today. And I also saved my brother's life my from the cold clutches of freezing water.

Here's some copypasta from a forum I post on:

So the whole incident lasted about 10 seconds but boy it felt a lot longer than that. Me and my brother were standing on our frozen pond which was directly in the gaze of the sun and was slowly melting. Cracks were propagating from the edges, separating the sheet of ice into small, fragile segments. My little brother started hopping on the edge of one of these sheets and I jokingly stepped onto it too. That's when it gave way.

I grabbed my brother, half submerged in the freezing water, by the shoulder and pulled him up and out. My weight on the ice I was standing on was too much and I felt my self sliding quickly into the cold, murky water. I still had some of my footing left so I pushed on and threw myself on to the next sheet, pulling my brother along with me. We were almost at the bank, I would not be a victim of this pond I told myself and pushed on to final sheet of ice. I hauled my brother onto the haven that was the bank, just as the ice below me cracked and splintered. I crawled onto the bank, legs battered and bruised, all smelly and cold, but victorious. 


So yes, this made my day. Probably the most fun I've had in weeks. I'll probably post evidence of the cracked pond if I can get the camera working properly.
