Snow Days

So I think the freaky weather started on Tuesday. I remember this because I was afraid we would have to cancel our first book group. Thankfully, we didn’t and the weirdness waited until we woke up to snow on Wednesday morning… (of which I was pleasantly surprised)

Now snow was in the forecast, but not until late Wednesday. But it didn’t last long and we went about our normal routine despite the hail, wind, sun, rain, snow, sun, snow/hail mix… In fact, on Wednesday evening in only 8 minutes it went from sunny and 40 to SNOWING and 34. Again, it didn’t last long and it was all gone shortly afterwards…

Until we woke up to snow again on Thursday morning… I have to admit I was pretty disappointed this time as it was NOT the several inches of snow that was predicted. I felt gypped! This wasn’t what I ordered…

Then to make matters worse, the sun came out and melted all the snow away!

Tabbi would hardly even step foot into the snow

   

The girls finally ventured out to explore

Then the freaky weather started up again! Hail, sun, snow, wind! And all in about 20 minutes!

This isn’t snow, it’s hail-snow!

 

It was like little tiny snowballs even bigger than the airsoft BB’s which were STILL on the deck!

Then it stopped, everything melted (yet AGAIN), until about 3:30… when it started to SNOW!!!

In about an hour we had a couple of inches! And it didn’t stop!!! This was the snow we had been promised!

Here’s what the deck looked like in less than an hour!

  

By 5:30, the boys were able to transform our mailbox into a snow monster!

  

It wasn’t even dark yet and still showed no signs of letting up!

Around 8:00 we realized we had a LOT of snow! And it was still snowing…

The neighbors? What neighbors??? I don’t see the neighbors! Our fence had become a wall of snow!

This morning we awoke to a glorious blue sky and sparkling whiteness everywhere!!!

           Even the snow monster looked better this morning!

Pots? What pots???

Our tiki torch looks more like a giant snocone!

The woods look so beautiful in the snow!

Right after breakfast the boys headed out to play in, what is probably to be, the last snow of the season… :o(

Unlike the cat, Betsy loves the snow!

  

We may not have a hill but we do have stairs!

Will’s just chillin’!

He is now practicing for his role as the evil snow ruler!

I had no idea how fortunate we were until we finally got our newspaper and I read that we were the only place in the region to get snow!!! Sorry everyone! But we promise to enjoy it for you… :o)
