Snow Storm 2011

The weather forecasters were right! Sometimes I'm not so sure when there is so much hype if the storm that is predicted will really pack a punch. But this one did! We got about 5.5 inches in my neck of the woods - and in the south, that is really significant. Everything is shut down today. It is not really the snow that is wrecking havoc, but it is the layer of ice that decided to form on top of the very powdery snow we got last night. There was no snow at 9PM my time, but by 10PM, it looked like this...

I got up with Miss B this morning and made her some French toast. Afterward, she, Daddy and I headed out for some cold fun!

See how deep the snow is?

Trying some snow (It's clean, I promise. :D)...

Mmmm, cold...

All bundled up. Doug is ready for the game tonight in support of Auburn. War Eagle!

On the deck...

Pretty snow...

Deep footprints...

My poor duck...

Ice...

Some sledding. We have to get this poor child a real sled!



Snow angels!

Me and Miss Sassy Pants...

Bri asked me to hold a block of ice for this pic...


Building a snow fort...

Another snowman!!!

 
This is the layer of ice covering the powdery snow. Not good for driving...

Walking through the woods behind my house to get to the golf course...


The golf course...

Daddy and his princess...

This is where my kitty enjoys the storm from...

Trying to warm up by the fire with hot chocolate...

Looking at the roads and the fact that the temperature is not rising today, I'm thinking no school again tomorrow. We'll just have to enjoy more time in the snow!
