We had our first snow last week! It came down so fast during the first hour, it seemed like we would get the 1-3 inches predicted by the local weathermen. My sister lives about 150 miles north of us and they were supposed to get 3-5 inches. They ended up with over
10 inches!!! The snow was so wet and heavy, it snapped the power lines, leaving 9000 without power for many long, cold hours. Kathy and her family finally had the power restored
26 hours after it first went out!
We, on the other hand, were much luckier. The snow tapered off after that first couple of hours, leaving us with about 1 1/2 - 2 inches of the wet stuff. It was beautiful, though, like a Christmas snow. The flakes were about the size of a quarter!
The first 3 photos are taken from our porch, looking across to the old high school gymnasium. See how fast and heavy the snow was coming down?! In the last one, I'm trying to capture the size of the flakes.
Here are some pins I found on Pinterest, featuring...SNOW!
Here's Vaughn Monroe singing
"Let It Snow." You might remember a slightly different version of this song on the first DIE HARD with Bruce Willis. Don't forget to pause my music listed at the bottom, before listening to this!

We just got blasted with snow these past couple days. We got about a foot and a half!!!!! So far its the biggest snow of the season, but its not uncommon for us to get a lot more than that.

ReplyDeleteHi Joy! Very pretty snow pictures... but I can't imagine how hard that must have been on you poor dear sister. I hope they had a generator.
ReplyDeleteI won't miss the snow here in the desert :] If I do I can run up the hill to see some.
Thanks for joining my Bunny Hop!
