Snow!

It hardly ever snows here in Mississippi. For the past 2 years we have only gotten snow on the first weekend of March. This past December it snowed twice...not much...a few flakes here & there. None of it stuck of course, but, hey...it was snow! Since the first of the year, we have had several chances of snow. Last week being the best chance. It started snowing Thursday night but stopped a little after midnight. When we woke up Friday morning, the ground was covered....not completely, there were a few spots of grass poking through. I did manage to get Natalee to "play" in it for a few minutes before we left for daycare & work. She didn't like the cold on her hands. The southern part of the state was covered. Some places got up to 6 inches! I know some people that live around the Jackson area or south of Jackson & I saw some of their pics & they were unbelievable!! I was really hoping we would get a bunch. We went to Jackson Saturday (will write that story in a different post) & there was still snow on the ground & on vehicles. Of course, most of it had turned to ice, but it still looked like snow! Sunday night it started snowing again. I'm not sure how long it snowed that night, Natalee & I was in the bed asleep by 10. Terry came to wake me up & tell me it was snowing. Monday morning when we woke up, the ground was covered again...about like the Friday before. This time though, we had more than Greenwood! I had more at my house than there was on the ground between my house & work (30/40 mile trip, including daycare). I talked to Terry about 2:15ish yesterday afternoon & he said it was snowing at the house. A few minutes later mom called & said it was snowing outside work! We had several "snow showers" pop up between 2:30 & 6. It snowed on me all the way home. When I got in the driveway, there were several patches in the yard. We still had a few patches this morning & on the hill along the gravel road we live on, even though it didn't snow anymore last night. This is the most it has snowed in Mississippi in a long time! I'll see if I can find some pics and post!
