Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Did we skip Fall and just jump straight into winter????? 20 degrees tonight! So much for the warm sunny South!

It's Melting.....

You know what they say...Here Today, Gone Tomorrow! That is so true about snow in the Deep South! It is almost gone! It has been a little windy today and that has had the snow melting and falling out of the pine trees! You would have thought there were a bunch of teenage boys in the back yard with all the thumping I kept hearing! But there was no giggles or chuckles...just falling clumps of snow. Our backyard is full of pine trees. I think this area was a pine tree forest at one time. The trees are planted in straight little lines!

I measured the snow around 8:00 last night and this is what I got.

Now keep in mind it was still snowing when I took this picture. So we could have gotten more...I am calling our official total 3"! Sweet Mama wanted me to send some pics to LB in Iowa. He is the Weekend Anchor of his local news. So I sent them and they were put on the weatherman's blog on the station's website. Kinda cool and yet kinda pitiful... They get a lot more snow that we do...every year! Just a El Nino event for us! I basically sent him the same ones I posted yesterday plus this one.

This is as close to the snow as Sweet Mama got!
Here's a few from today!

Plus we got a little bit of ice!

And now we get ready for SPRING! The Cherry Tree is getting ready...are you?

It Snowed!!

It took a while but it finally snowed and it stuck! Tha snow started falling for good around 2pm. By 4pm the snow was covering the ground...so pretty! Here are a few picture of the day! Enjoy!!

Snow Day Part Two

Okay... So it stopped snowing around 1:30 or so. I was cold and decided to take a nap around 3. When I woke up an hour later this is what I found! I had to get my snow gear back on and go back outside and frolick! It was so pretty!! Now it looked like we had snow! The morning snow basically melted fast...by 1:30 there was not a drop of snow on my car. But now, Winter Wonderland! We are still under a winter advisory until midnight with total accumulations of 1 to 3 inches! Too bad it is now dark outside :( But it was fun while it lasted!!!

Snow Day

Just came back inside from "Playing" in the snow.. actually it was really just a walk! It has been snowing here since 9:30 this morning! It is not sticking very well since it was 72 degrees here yesterday and raining during the night! It is sticking on cars, roofs and some plants. Compared to more northern parts of the country it is not much, but to us it was exciting to see. The last time it snowed here was 2002. As I look out the window right now, it looks as if it has stopped. Maybe it will be back before long! Our only taste of winter and it will be almost 80 on Friday! Summer is almost here...
