Another Winter Storm... The Biggest Yet!

CURRENT WEATHER: LIGHT RAIN 33*

Yay yay yay! Winter made one last unexpected show today. Went I went to bed last night, the forecast was for sleet/rain in the morning changing to all liquid rain by early afternoon. So when I got up at 8:30 AM, I looked outside and there was nothing going on. I go out in the living room and watch a western movie that was on with my grandfather ( I couldn't think of anything else to do, lol). That movie ended at 10AM. So I get up and walk out into the kitchen and BOOM! It's snowing outside! Yay! It started out lightly and then all of a sudden it poured snow. And I mean POURED! Soooo..... to make a VERY long story short... I went out in all the unexpected snow and played around on the roads sliding around and all that jazz. So all that rain they were calling for fell as snow... at the end of it all we got about 5 inches... the biggest snowfall of the season :-). Here are some of the pics... there are a lot so bear with me, but it's for your entertainment.
OK so the picture above is when the snow really got crankin'.
And the picture below is after all was said and done after about 5 hours.
OK so after some pics of the yard, I had the brilliant idea to drive around in this stuff, lol. Now because they were calling for rain and not snow, it caught everyone off guard so the snowplows never showed up! So I was a bit crazy. So anyway I drove down to my community beach...
..and had pictures taken of me. :-) It's pretty cool having heavy snow at a beach... kinda a contradiction. Cool.
This is the car I drove around the snow in, pictured here at the beach.
After the beach, I headed down about a mile of snow covered roads...
...to our very large pier where I bike to every summer day. That was a heck of a sight to see.
After running up and down the pier a few times I got back in the car and decided to head to K-Mart. LOL. I know the perfect time, lol. So I went down to K-Mart and saw 3-4 cars in the ditch. So cool.
After K-Mart I head home and play in the snow with my doggy Taz :-)


Now remember when I woke up today, they were calling for rain... what an awesome surprise the weather had for us. I loved it!
