Some White Stuff - Finally

Yesterday we finally got some SNOW.  The kids were glad that it came after they were home from school (they hate to miss school).  Go figure they couldn't possibly be mine - who doesn't want a Snow Day?  Anyhow we all had a fun time at home; the cat got to go out & play as well as the kids.  We only got about 3" but it was the first snow that the kids had any time to enjoy.  All the other snows came while they were in school or overnight.

We got ice & freezing rain after the snow, so when I actually measured it, it had compacted because of the ice.

 

This was at the beginning of the storm - about 3:30 pm.  It snowed for about 4 hours.  Just as the snow covered the ground.

 

Ms. Curiosity as I've been calling her recently.  I have never had a cat that insisted on being out in the snow or the rain the way she does.  Patches will crawl the door frame to get up to the window on the garage door & bawl until she it left outside.  She is a wonderful cat, very docile and loving.  She cracks me up  they way she plays in the snow.  Patches is worse than the kids for wanting to be outside in the snow. (he he he he).

From about 10:30pm yesterday...total accumulation from the front patio.

This was from Saturday's storm that blew through about noon time.  Much wetter snow than today's storm.  These snow flakes were SO huge. 

I am still holding out for a major snow storm this season...according to the Farmer's Almanac mid week to the end of the week hold a good chance for one.
