Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow (and snow, and snow, and...)

Let me just warn you right up front - this post might be  little heavy on the photos.  Because, you see, today is a snow day. And who doesn't enjoy snow pictures? If you're thinking that you personally don't care for snow pics, you should probably just go on and click to a different website.  We'll catch up on some other day.  As for the rest of you - Enjoy!

This is not just your typical southern "we got 3 inches of snow, y'all" kind of snow day.  This is bonafide!  It started out as sleet and freezing rain last night, switching over to snow after midnight.

When I woke up this morning there was already about 6 inches of snow on the ground.  It has kept coming down on and off all day.

We've enjoyed a quiet day with the entire family snowed in.  We've spent a great deal of time just watching  the snow fall and commenting on it frequently, and the female offspring made snow cream for the grand baby.  I have a big pot of vegetarian chili simmering on the stove and the Keurig has been busy all day long making warm beverages.

The bird feeder has been extra busy all day and we have enjoyed watching all our feathered friends.  Including a very bright cardinal and one very fat little ball of feathers who we decided looks very much as if he belongs in an Angry Birds game.

As of 4:00 this afternoon our very unofficial measuring tool tells us we are sitting in about 10 inches of the white stuff.  Which is still falling and expected to continue into tomorrow morning.

Yep,  I'm quite enjoying this weather!  As a matter of fact, I'm gonna go give the chili a stir, make myself another cup of tea and do a little reading.

Have a great evening everyone!  Stay safe and warm!
