Winter Wonderland

Since this is our third and final winter in Memphis, it was nice to see what a real winter storm was like down here. It was all that anyone talked about for the past 3 days. I figured as usual we would end up with only some freezing fog and no real accumulation. To my suprise at about 2 p.m. on Thursday the snow started coming down hard and heavy.


Beth came home early around 3 p.m. and by 5 p.m. we had about an 1 1/2 inches. When the snowed stopped falling late in evening we had a total of over 3 inches. Around 6 p.m. our power went out and luckily our neighbors had a generate they were able to hook up for limited power and heat, so we went over there for a few hours.
It is in the mid 40's today, so most of the snow has melted, but it was nice to get a small taste of what it will be like again to live in the snow belt.
