And I'm not the least bit happy about it. I looked out my office window this morning and could barely see across the street. Thankfully, no accumulation yet. I haven't even put my snow brush in my car yet. YIKES! I still have leaves to rake out of my back yard. DOUBLE YIKES!

Because it's cold and wet! I don't like cold and wet!

It really snowed here in, I think, 2005. We were in Austin where it didn't snow a lick! I wanted to go home and see it. My husband wouldn't bring me home because it normally melts by the time the sun goes down. This time it didn't.

My daughter drove to our house to take pictures so I could see what it looked like! 12 inches is a lot of snow and it stayed on the ground for a couple of days!

When we made it home, I helped my son build a snowman. I put the carrot in it's face, dusted my hands off and said, "That's it. That's all the snow for me today." I promptly went inside the house.

I hate snow! Okay, I don't like it very much. I guess I don't actually hate it.

Look at the bright side: now you can put off the raking until Spring!

Come get all you want. You might want to wait, though. No accumulation yet. Give us a couple weeks to get the ground cold enough for it to stick. Then your trip will be worth it.

There's nothing like the experience of life completely grinding to a halt because of a foot of snow on the ground. Things that were SO important suddenly don't matter.

And the sound!!!! Oh, the sound. The quiet. It's always an amazing God-moment for me. I miss it.
