The First Snowfall of the Winter

The girls were so excited to hear that we were going to get some snow even if only 2 inches max were predicted.  The snow came in a little earlier than I expected and we were on the other side of town.  The traffic to get home was terrible and the roads were beginning to ice. A journey of 30 minutes turned into 2 unpleasant and stressful hours. Thankfully once we made it to the interstate things were looking better on the roads and we were able to zip home for the last stretch. 

The snow kept falling all night, and when it was all done we ended up with 9 inches! That is crazy for us in the south. It ended up taking a week to finally melt.



Snowman #1

I spent most of that night and the next day right here. 


Nine inches of powdery snow was something new to all of us. The girls had the best time playing.

That snow was deep!




We all had some fun sledding down the front hill.




This one had a little trouble walking at some points in the backyard. 

Snow tower, I mean snow man #2. This guy was about 7' tall!
