The year 2011 is starting off with a bang! We received a "big snow", especially for these parts, on 1/09/11. This is the best snow event we've had since the 'Blizzard of 93'. We made a last minute decision to go and stay at my parents for the snow. The fear of losing power and, most importantly, heat won out. We hastily packed up almost everything in the house and headed to Granna and Grandpa's. It was already sleeting when we made our trip over and I must say the anticipation was almost more than we (Andy & I) could bear. Within 2 hours we had several inches of snow and when we woke the next morning it was a winter wonderland.
I am guessing we got about 6-7 inches of snow. It was so beautiful! This was the first snow we've received that Jack hasn't been too sick to really get in it. We bundled up and went outside and BRRRR it was cold! The wind was almost unbearable.
The snow had a layer of ice on the top and it would literally break as you walked across it. After a fall and a cut finger on Jack, we went back in and I treated myself to this little bit of heaven.
I must say this surpassed the snow in the order of exciting events for the day. Wow! Too bad I don't have some of those
homemade marshmallows Darby told us about. The question is now...how long will we be here????? I'm guessing several days!
