January Snow

Tipper's first snow. He was more interested in coming inside to sleep on his chair rather than wrestle with Boo in the yard.

Most of yesterday we had no more than a dusting of snow. It looked like powdered sugar all over everything. By late afternoon the temperature had risen to 37 degrees and we were just wet here at our house near the water. However, just a few miles inland snow was around all day. When we went to bed last night several schools in the area had already canceled classes for today. My district chose to wait till morning. I woke up at 3:30 this morning and took a peek out the window and saw nothing but green grass in the front yard. But by 5:30 when Forrest's alarm went off the ground was covered, and by 5:45 I received my call that school was closed. Noah's basketball game is canceled for tonight, but the boys are practicing if they can make it to school safely at 11:00 AM. We let Noah drive a bit in the slushy slick stuff yesterday. Maybe I'll give him another driving lesson today after practice. Thank goodness for all wheel drive. Here are a few pictures of our beautiful snowy neighborhood.
