Skywatch: Snow Day!

Snow is pretty rare in our part of North Carolina, and everyone gets excited when it comes!  We actually had a thundersnow, which is even rarer.  Thunder, lightning and snow all at once.  Strange, amazing, and oh so cool.  We ended up with close to 3" at our house, but this is North Carolina and it is fast melting.  The sun is out, the sky is blue.  After a week of gray skies and rain, this is such a nice change.

The best part?  In our neck o' the woods, everything shuts down when it snows.  The grocery store shelves are emptied of bread, milk and eggs (french toast, anyone?) and we prepare to hunker down.  Sounds silly, I know.  But that's just the way it is here "in the South".  Soooo, school was cancelled (SNOW DAY) and I spent the morning with the girls playing in the snow -- quick!  before it melts!

Last night, as the snow started falling


The snow was melting so quickly off of the top branches that it seemed to be raining.
And this little guy was hanging out in our front yard.
