I managed to find a couple of the photos of our 2004 Christmas Eve Blizzard.  We got something like 38 inches of snow, with unbelievable drifts! 


This first photo was taken of our front porch steps during the storm. 


The second was taken on Christmas morning, after hubby Doug removed the snow.

Please add yours below!



Take care and God Bless!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

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!
