Snow Surprise!

Finally, we got some snow!!!! We had all that sleet and such last week and I really thought that winter had done it's thing, not so, Mother Nature had one more surprise in store for us! The weather forecast was calling for a nasty winter mix - a wee little bit of snow, some sleet and a lot of freezing rain. Well, we got snow!!!!!! About 5 inches here in Lake Ridge! I love a good snow storm!!!! I esp love a surprise snow storm, which is so rare these days with all the advances in weather prediction! The only thing I didn't like was that I had plans to go to a friends Oscar Party this evening, however the weather threw a wrench in that. The snow let up, however we got some rain and there was a lot of water/slush on the roads and the temps were maybe going to drop below freezing - or maybe hover near freezing. I decided I couldn't trust that it would stay warm long enough since the weather people hadn't gotten anything right all weekend! Here are some pictures I took of the snow falling down:

My backyard with snow falling down - about 10:30 am.
