Snow - a wrap-up

It took so long to get here and even longer to stick and now it's nearly gone. The snow has been replaced with wicked cold artic air. At noon it is 27 degrees with a 16 degree windchill. Nice! (Paul just called to let me know it was 4 degrees in Kansas City this morning and now a balmy 16!)

Here's some 'morning after' snow pictures (I did sleep in a little past 9, so some was already melted)



The frozen fountain


Looking up the street


Across the street (notice the salt on my car! we drove right behind the salt brine sprayers on Friday night, ack!)


The house



(Lu - see the little green shoots? those are my iris bulbs already coming up - ack!)

Here's the 'rents house in Atlanta - they got WAY more snow than we did!


And see, this is where my bird feeding obsession comes from (their backyard)

Snow - before bed

One last look at the snow "accumulation" before bed



Snow in the street light

(had I learned how to properly use my new camera, I may have gotten much better pictures)

Update: SNOW is on the GROUND!

Wow. So in about 60 minutes time we went from barely any snow falling to snow on the ground. I am a happy, happy girl!

Thankfully Mom & Dad called (on Skype, with video and sound most of the time) to distract me while I waited for the snow to stick. They've gotten a good 1/4 inch on the ground at their house just south of Atlanta (I was so jealous to see the snow covered ground!).

(M&D say "hi!")

Here's some pictures (like I promised!)

Snow just after 4pm (not terribly impressive)


Snow just after 6pm



(the car! which is finally home, long story!)




More to come! Hopefully...

4pm update

Yes ladies & gentlemen, your OCD snow loving blogger is updating yet again!

We have SNOW. Very little rain mixed in, just SNOW! It is sticking to the wood bridge, but nothing else, YET.

Pictures will follow. I've got to eat something first!
