Another Snow Day

I think this is the most snow we have seen in Mississippi for as long as I can remember! Wednesday afternoon, around 1:00, it started snowing. I knew I should have left work around 2, but I stayed til 3:30 anyways. The snow hadn't let up any & it was coming down like crazy! The roads were not great but they really weren't that bad either. However, I'm not one to drive in that crazy mess. There were so many wrecks & people running off the road. I ended up sliding twice within 2 miles from work. I pulled over & called Terry to come get me! When he got to town, we took my truck back to one of the MedStat stations cause we knew it would be safe there. We finally made it home around 5:30. In that short of a time, we already had at least 3 inches! The snow kept coming down for about another 2 hours. All in all we had a total of anywhere from 4.5 - 5 inches. Terry had put a bowl outside so we could make some snow ice cream that night. It was my first time to ever make any & it was really good. I used Paula Deen's recipe which was super easy. You need 10-12 cups of snow, 1 can condensed milk & 1 tsp vanilla. Mix well & serve immediately! Natalee loved it! I got a few pics but not very many & of course I don't have my camera with me so I will have to post them later.

Yesterday I had to come into work. I wanted so badly to stay home with Natalee & build another "Toffee" the snowman, but work had to be done. The roads were not too bad. Terry brought mom & I in his truck & took my truck back home. Natalee stayed with granny & played with Ryan & Katie Lauren. They had so much fun! It's still a good bit on the ground today, but the sun is shining & it is actually supposed to get above freezing. Hopefully it won't all melt before tomorrow!
