It came but it didn’t stick around! The news and The Weather Channel said we could expect 2-4″ of wet snow today. We very well might have received that much, but with yesterday’s temperature hovering around 80* the ground was still too warm. Plus we haven’t had a good freeze yet (nope — that’s going to be tonight…more on that later)

Yesterday evening the front moved over our house and almost instantly brought strong winds with it. This morning pre-dawn we heard rain outside along with several loud crashes of thunder. By the time we got up, the rain had changed over to snow and was sticking to a few places in the yards. It snowed pretty much all morning with showers into the afternoon but like I said earlier nothing stuck around. I need practice driving in the snow, so I took the wheel to church this morning. Gotta start slow ya know…like when the snow melts as soon as it touches the ground. No ice today!

But back to the freeze. We are officially under a freeze warning tonight until 10am tomorrow morning. Since the storm has cleared on by the temps are expected to drop to the mid 20s tonight. There goes the rest of my tomatoes I’m sure. We planned ahead though and Noah turned off and prepped the sprinklers for winter yesterday (along with trimming the branches from the trees in the backyard).

However, as far as I’m concerned, I’m ready for more snow. Not necessarily driving in it, but I would like it to stick around longer the next time it falls. Unfortunately, there isn’t any snow in the forecast for the next 10 days…yet.

**Update** The official snow measurement for our area was .5″.
