Severe Winter Weather!

We had our first snowfall of the winter. It is so funny to watch all of the commotion. It started with the news stations and their "live" updates while waiting for the big storm. We were out and about yesterday and it was raining. We pulled into the parking lot of Super WalMart and they literally had three "traffic control" guys. It is more crowded than at Christmas. Everybody was out getting stocked up for the big winter storm. All I needed was cat litter. Can't get through a snow storm without cat litter. I drove over to Target. No way was I going to mingle with the big crowds.
My "city-fied" kids (notice the shorts). They gathered snow off the cars and put it in that black bucket to build a snowman in our birdbath. They also threw some snowballs at each other.
We had just enough snow to cover the grass and roofs. It was nothing, but if you watched all the commotion, you would think that we were going to be stranded for weeks. Interesting.
Oh, what fun!

How did you guys get snow? City kids don't wear shorts in the winter, that is crazy kids who do that. The stairs look great.

LOL! that is very similar to what happens out here. The news informs us we are going to have severe weather, the parents wait for school to be called off and we wind up with maybe an inch on the ground.
