At Last...

It has been raining all week.  We finally got some snow yesterday afternoon and evening.

Our steady rain turned into snow about 3:30 yesterday afternoon.

Here's the backyard about an hour after it started snowing.

 The rest of the pictures were taken this morning.

The school board called us last night to tell us that school would be cancelled today so I didn't have to set my alarm last night.  We slept in until 9:00 so the sun was already up over the ridge when I went out to get pictures.

It had stopped snowing by the time we went to bed last night, I measured 3-4 inches of snow in different parts of the yard.  They had been predicting more than 6 inches.  I am kind of glad it was on the low side; it'll be nice to be able to get out of the house this weekend.

Laura was the only one who came outside to play in the snow this morning.

And now it's supposed to be sunny for the next 5 days or so.  It is very nice to see blue skies again.
