It snowed here today! Now remember, this is the mid-south and we aren't used to getting the white stuff here, and me being from Florida, I am still always so excited when I get to see it. Tony doesn't get as excited as I do, I think it's because for him growing up, snow was just part of the norm. But anyway, it ended up snowing about 5-6 inches, which is way above the 1 inch they expected us to get, so much in fact that Tony got sent home from work only about 2 hours into his work day. So we stayed inside and enjoyed the heat and the scenery outside through the windows until finally we decided to go out and enjoy it. With the snow came a lot of ice, and with the ice came icicles all over the house, car, and trees; this amazed me! I think icicles are so cool! And again, I have never seen them in person before, so it was awesome! We live up on a huge hill, so Tony wasn't able to get his car back up the hill, and many of our neighbors weren't either, but apparently the hill/driveway made an awesome sled hill for our neighbors. They were sledding down the hill on an inflatable air mattress! It looked fun, but the worry wort in me thought it also appeared dangerous, so when they offered us a turn we graciously declined. It's still supposed to dump another 2-3 inches on us tonight, so we'll see how the rest of the weekend plays out and if we end up being snowed in. And now for some neat pictures!
