Snow!?

What a surprise this afternoon to suddenly see a few flakes falling from the sky! Within a few minutes, it was coming down hard, and the streets were turning white. Unfortunately, the girls were at school. We figured it would all blow over before they even awoke from their naps, but...nope! As flakes began to pile up higher and higher, we figured we'd better finish up our trip to the grocery store and head up the hill to get the girls. Wow! By the time we were on the road, 45 minutes later, traffic was a mess, cars were sliding off the road, and we still had to get up the hill. Thank goodness for four wheel drive! We saw more than one car sliding sideways, unable to get to the top.

By the time we got home with the girls, safe, and sound, it was dark. We knew we couldn't pass up some snow time though, so after dinner, Brian and Camryn headed out to our sloped driveway for some sledding with the disks that Santa brought. What a fun winter surprise. :)
