A Winter Wonderland...

in Spring!

So yesterday the snow kept falling around 5:30...
and 6:00...
and 6:30...
and 7:30...
and while the snow fell, the wind was also blowing at times, making the snow whirl down from the roof (which was really pretty to watch)...
By 7:30 last night, we already had a couple of inches of snow on the ground...
Toula decided that since the snow just kept falling, she should make sure she had some extra shelter and protection...
She is a Southern bunny, so she made sure that she had plenty of groceries in her home during the snow...
It is so funny how any time snow is forecasted, the grocery stores are packed with people buying bread, milk and a few little other things, and it is really packed at the sight of the first actual flake...I think half of the people who I work with spent their lunch breaks or sent their spouse to pick up "bread, milk and a few other things," and they reported seeing pretty much the whole town there doing the same thing.
I kept checking periodically through the night, and snow flakes were still coming down around 10:30; however, by then it was a very light snow...

This morning, I couldn't wait to get up and see just how much snow we got!
While I haven't measured yet, you can see we got several inches...
This is definitely the most snow we have gotten since we moved here, and the most I have seen Northern Mississippi in quite a few years, if I remember correctly...
We already have little icicles forming from our roof, and the sidewalks and even the streets are icy!!
I can't wait for Charles to wake up so we can go play in the snow and build a snowman!!
