Snow Day ~ Yahoo!

The snow has arrived ~ yay!

The storm was predicted, we woke up to an inch of ice and snow...

and heard more snow was on the way.

Schools closed.....

too icy in the morning and the snow was to begin around 3ish.

The anticipation of the snow coming was too fun .....all day.

Courtney's kiddos made this cute candle globe ~

The snowmen are their fingerprints.... and then they painted them. Isn't that adorable?! I had a dental appt. this morning and ran a few errands.... and as I headed home the rain....then sleet arrived.

A covering of sleet ~

The morning blanket of sleet and snow.....

the afternoon as the snow started to fall.

I decided to shovel the sleet level ....

so the base would NOT be ice.

The snow quickly covered up what I shoveled.

The trees are covered with snow ~

don't you love it when it is like a winter wonderland!

Snow starting to amount to something...... It is quite something ~ this storm will be brief (4 - 11 p.m.) but

expecting 5 - 10 inches.

We have had "thunder snow" and yes it actually thunders....

and pours snow.

Quite amazing.

Here at 6:15 p.m. the snow is coming down hard ~

And it is just beautiful.

We are cozy in the house ~

thankful to God for this beautiful snow.....

and for our warm house. :)

We sure love the seasons here in Northern Virginia!
