Do you see the word SNOW in the weather sticky??? (Well, "light snow?") Yes, we've had snow for about 30 minutes. There was already some sleet on the ground, roof, etc. from around midnight. This snow is kinda loud & I'm thinking there is some sleet or ice mixed in with it.

hi, sandi!

What a difference ten minutes makes. This is no longer LIGHT snow! I've already got photos. Better keep my camera charged.

hmmmm.. wonder where I could find a sled?

The "heavy" snow lasted less than 10 minutes... maybe only 5 but it was beautiful! Standing outside to take the photos felt like a blizzard... hehe, I'm from coastal SC - what do I know??

Ogal - yes, the girls are not in school. I actually acquired an additional teenager overnight. I didn't wake up the sleeping ones to see the snow come down. I'm hoping they will get to see more later. And don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.

shore - This certainly does not look like our town. I am worried that there will be plenty of ice.... let's just say I'd feel better if I knew HOW to get my gas logs to start.

Just announced: Two-hour school delay tomorrow. That seems pretty obvious, but glad to hear the news already. We never had any more snow (sorry girls, I didn't wake you up for the "snow show.") Then the rain melted most of what was on the ground. Much of the afternoon has been freezing drizzle & it is really a mess.


BT - You know that I can't imagine that much snow. I was certainly thinking about you this afternoon.... I had to call the heat repairman! My heat pump (outside part) froze into a huge piece of ice. He broke away the ice and reset some "defroster" dial or something.

Foxx - We are lucky that this will be a short experience here. The snow was pretty, but it is mostly cold and nasty. Okay as long as I don't have to be out in it.

Karen - OF course the staying home part was fun. The weather is the reason the girls were out of school. It will be interesting to see how the school schedule adapts to this. The high school students are getting ready for exams in a few days... and then "scheduled" for a long weekend off. A nearby county was supposed to have high school exams today, so I bet the cancellation messed up their schedule also.

sky - It's been pretty much like that all day. Definately cold and nasty, without the pretty.

I bet my daughters might be begging to go to school tomorrow cause we might wake up to a cold house. Earlier today we had problems with the heat pump & it seems it has iced up and stopped again. Hubby is trying to break up the ice now - but this could be a long night.

garden - that was all the snow. I'm glad I took some photos before the rain melted it.

It's still 32 degrees here, but there doesn't seem to be any ice. All schools and businesses were open by 10:00 this morning. Hopefully everyone is careful. There were plenty of traffic accidents in this area yesterday.

Sandi, thanks for the greetings. It would have been okay to skip my blog... Of course, I'd expect email!

I think of everyone... just not keeping up with this blog. I'm thinking if I change it for spring, I might not leave it open for comments.

Huri - thanks for checking. I had looked at your blog checking that you were safe, but I didn't think about leaving an update.

Thank you, sandi, for responding.

I definately need a new header for these moments that my blog gets popped up.

The radar and weather tracking was pretty scary here yesterday, but somehow the area was spared damage. Some areas of the county did have some tree and structural damage. So far, I'm only hearing "word of mouth" stories and nothing from official sources.
