One weird week!

We had a pretty strange week of weather. Tuesday started off in the mid-50's and sunny, then was spitting rain. By the time I left work at 3:45pm it was spitting slush and had dropped 16 degrees in 15 minutes. Overall, there was a 40 degree temperature drop that day. Here are what the trees outside our house looked like that night.



Skip ahead to Thursday and reports of a big snow storm headed our way. The day started out cold and by noon it was spitting snow and was very windy. Here are the little bushes in front of our house at 5:00pm last night.



These are the same bushes this morning at 6:30am.



So far, the total accumulation is only 9-10", depending on where you are, but there is a lot of blowing. People around here are a little sensitive to snow though, so ALL schools and many businesses / activities are canceled today. Not our places of employment of course. It is still snowing though, another 2-4" expected today.
I love a good snow storm. Maybe we'll get a good snowman and some snow angels out of the deal.
