Here in the south we're having a few snow days. Yesterday it snowed an inch here and today another 2 inches or so before turning to the dreaded rain! We're right on the edge of the snow line here but as often happens in this particular part, we don't get the large amounts of snow I would like. I'm sure many others are just as happy not to get anything of course. Exactly 2 weeks ago we also got a little dry snow. This snow is very wet and heavy - good for snowmen. I'll give a conglomeration of both (later: 4) sets of snow pics:
Well, I need to add another snow day to this list. The night/day after the last snow mentioned above (on Feb 12/13), we had 8 - 9 inches. After snowing all night, we woke up to a magical winter wonderland. Here are some pics of that.
Pretty sure that's all for this season in these parts...If we have more, I'll add to this. Happy sledding!

| Snowboarding later in the day. The road's snow was a lot thinner since it didn't start to stick for several hours, but it packed down easily for good sledding. |
