Snow!

The forecast was for rain to start last night, turning to sleet, then about 1/2" of snow.
They closed the schools yesterday before anything started to fall.

It started tosnow about an hour ago and still going strong. It's so pretty!
These first two pics were taken an hour apart.

About 10 minutes later, it's still coming down strong!

lol, no, not often.
Our usual snow fall is what you see in the first picture and that only happens maybe 2 or 3 times during the winter.

I will admit that if a snowmobile was the preferred method of travel I might not mind snow as much.

If anyone wants snow you can come up to ND! We got 24 in. during our Christmas storm. Last weekend we had another 3 day storm with 4 more in. and -30 degree mornings 3 days in a row and they NEVER CANCELED SCHOOL! Even for up here that's ridiculous. Life just keeps movin along, I guess.

wow, at least you all finally got some snow!! Its about 4 inches here and still coming down strong... makes me worry because our weather is about 4 hours behinds your alls and theres still a ton of snow to get through.
I am at work and praying I get relief and that my father in law can pick me up if Steve gets stuck here as well (hes about a block away from me working)... I just wanna get home sleep for a few hours then wake up and get my boys out with their sleds!
I hope you all are safe Lucy!!

Oh no! you just reminded me, I noticed my daffodils were coming up a few days ago.
Oh well, too late now, they're covered in snow and a layer of ice now.

The limbs on the trees are bent over from the sleet/ice we had last night.
Cross fingers our power stays on.
I'm glad I picked up a few battery operated air pumps just in case .

We're getting freezing rain here. A few trees are starting to droop, but I don't think we're supposed to get huge accumulations of it. I am glad my big branch fell earlier in the year. I wouldn't want it hitting the roof with ice on it.

We got like 8 inches, and it is still coming down! Supposed to get a few more today! My friend and I went out sledding and it was AMAZING! The roads are packed and there is a great hill in front of my house! SOO much fun Now we are making snow cream... yummy!

Here we get school cancelled/delayed for ANY snow at all, even just an inch. People in NC are scared to death of snowy roads... especially bus drivers

Glad you're safe up there!
It hasn't melted a bit here. There's a nice icy layer on top of the snow.
My car is frozen shut. lol
My daughter and I dug her old toboggan out and went sledding down a hill in the back yard.
We had a blast!!!!!
