Let It Snow!!


All week we have been hearing about the big weather system that was headed our way. All the news stations were talking about winter weather, which basically means in our neck of the woods - sleet and ice - no snow. Anytime snow is mentioned in a forecast there is a little excitement about the possibility of snow, but we all know it usually results in possibly a few snow flurries, but mostly just lots of ice and bad driving conditions. Well, I wasn't expecting much at all - especially since the last real snow I can even remember was the blizzard back when I was in middle school.


Well yesterday I was spending time at my mom and dad's when mom called from work and said "Did you know it was snowing?" Hearing that I decided I better head home just in case it were to turn into something. When I walked outside I was surprised at how hard it was snowing. The closer I got home the harder it was snowing, and it was actually starting to stick to the ground. Within about an hour or so we had a nice little layer of snow on the ground! It was so exciting! Unfortunately, it was short lived. Later the snow just turned to a wintery mix of rain and sleet, and washed all our beautiful snow away. This morning was just like any other - wet and muddy. However, we were able to savor the snow while it lasted. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Dodger and Dixie enjoyed thier first snow experience. I only wish they had a little more time to play.

haha I thought maost of you that would be reading this would probably feel that way, but you have all lived in GA once before, so you got to appreciate where we're coming from.

If the snow wouldn't melt I'd tell you to go ahead and send it.
