Our weathermen have been stressing their little heads off about this massive (yeah right) winter storm that hit us last night and today.
For us, it amounted to about 1 1/2" of snow and a lot of sleet. In defense of our weathermen,though, north of us did get between 8-10 inches. I wish we'd gotten that instead of all this ICE!
Earlier in the day, it felt like snow, but now it's basically an ice rink out there. My porch and yard are blankets of ice.

Bless Emma's little heart, though, she was so excited about the snow, so she HAD to go out and see for herself that it was ice and not snow that can actually be played in.
So we got all bundled up and went outside for about ten minutes.
I realized once we were already in the yard that I'd forgotten Noah's gloves inside.
So, he was miserable after about 30 seconds.
The dogs loved it...
Noah didn't. See how red his hands are? He was so fussy. So, I took him in after only a few minutes.
The playset was just a mess of icicles.
Emma loved knocking them off...
Noah was just focused on finding a warm spot.
There's nothing better than a nice hot fireplace after you've been outside playing in the snowy ice. :)

All we got was rain! I'm so glad that I didn't have to get out in it.
Your kids at least got to see some snow this year. I love the picture of the icicles on the plant. That was my fav...oh, and the one of Emma with her hands over her face.

Candace, our weatherman said all week long that we really wouldn't be getting anything in this weather system, that most of it would be south of DC. Well, we got about 5 inches. It snowed pretty much all day yesterday. So much for the weathermen and their fancy computers. :)
nice that you didn't get dumped on...although, where you live it probably would have melted in a jiffy! What gorgeous pictures of such a spectacle! :) Feel free to visit us in snowville anytime! :)
