First Snow Of The Season

… And it’s not even Thanksgiving!

Snow has been in the forecast for today for almost two weeks now. And after yesterday’s sneak preview, we were pretty excited to see some of the white stuff. But when we woke up this morning there was none… :o(

Within the hour it started up and was sticking…

It didn’t stop snowing all morning, but there was no snow in town so Chris took Zack and Andy down the hill to kung fu. Thankfully Chris is a great driver and didn’t have any trouble! The boys said it was quite entertaining watching people try to go up and down our street…

It is strange to see snow on my fall decorations.

  I can’t believe the girls came out! But they didn’t stay out for long… On the bright side, they laid 6 eggs today!!! (I guess there was nothing better to do…)

You can’t even tell Will and Dane had a snowball fight in the yard just an hour or so before…

I love it when the snow has no tracks or footprints in it!

After lunch, the boys decided to build a snowman in the front to greet all the drivers as they go slowly by…

We also realized that our roaring fire had gotten a bit too hot when the glue on our Thanksgiving decoration melted. It then fell  on top of the woodstove and was destroyed! I am so sad because Zack made that when he was in preschool. :o(

Just as the boys finished their snowman, measuring at about 7 feet tall, it finally stopped snowing.

It's snowed about a couple inches earlier in the day...Then it stopped. Then it started again just after dark, it's still snowing, sidewise here!! And it's too cold to go out and the snow is dry, not packable. Everything is covered, even the roads, and it is very slick. Nicole has to open at sbux in the AM, Dad will be driving her down near 4am, pray for their safety.
