Another Snowy Forcast

Looks like we are in for more of the white stuff late tonight and tomorrow morning! I tell you, this is REALLY eating into my vacation time, and I don't like it at all!! Anyway I don't know about you guys, but I'm officially tired of the snow now. It was fun the first few times, but it's really getting old now. I could never live much further north. I've done a lot of thinking about Florida the last couple of days! I'm just crossing my fingers that it won't be a lot!!

The Snow: We Haz It!!!

Well, we are still snowed under here. Unfortunately, they've gotten the roads plowed so, Casey and I have gone back to work. We still get to play, when we get home though. Here are some more snow shots!

Wordless Wednesday: Snow Edition

Shelbyville Snow '10

A few scenes around town from last weekend's snow! Everyone have a great weekend!

Snow Fun 2010

Well, Casey, I, the dogs, and the cats have been snowed in since Friday. It started snowing early Friday morning. By noon it was getting treacherous, so Casey and I decided to head home. The university decided to shut down at 1, and they've been shut down ever since. So, I managed to snag an extra long weekend. WOOT! When the snow was finally said and done, we had nearly 6 inches on the ground at the house. We've just basically hung out, watched t.v., and played out in the snow with the dogs. The dogs have enjoyed the snow, nearly as much as we have. I'm sure that their paws got a little frosty, but they didn't seem bothered in the least. I had to take the puppies out one at a time, because there was a lot of ice with our snow. Everything was slippery, and it was easy to fall down. Here's a little video that I made with the new camcorder that Casey gave me for my birthday. It's of Indiana, Fergie, Jack, and Trixie out playing in the snow. There's more videos of Shingo and Molly out. I'll download those and post them up tomorrow.

Snowy Day

Since today was MLK day, Casey and I were both off from work. We slept in YAY!! When we got up it was snowing. For quite a while until early afternoon, it was pretty steady. The yards and the rooftops had started to turn white. I still had several errands to do, so I threw on my coat, scarf, and gloves and headed out the door. I always love being out in the snow, as long as the roads aren't bad. I had gotten so cold while I was out, that I was REALLY sleepy after I got warm. Casey had made some homemade chicken and rice soup, so after a big bowl of that, I had a nap. By early afternoon, the snow had stopped and the sun was peeking out. It's really too bad. Since it lasted most of the day, I was hoping for a measureable snow just once this winter. Oh well, I guess I can keep wishing.

Slip Slidin'

Last night, as a surprise to us all, we came home in driving sleet and snow. We didn't think much of it, because the weather forcasters claimed that it was "nothing to worry about. No accumulation." Well, that's when they always get it wrong it seems. I had planned to go on my nightly run, after changing into my running gear. I made it across town and to the Rec Center. I started to get out of the car and nearly slid down in the parking lot. After some quick thought, I decided that I'd better run my errands and get myself back home. It's a good thing that I did. By the time I got home, I had already seen a fender bender and the side streets had started icing over. Most all of the area schools were out today. In Shelbyville, we had a lot more ice than snow. Further north in Murfreesboro they got a lot more snow. Casey and I got out the door early this morning, since we had no idea what condition the roads were in. We did just fine in Bedford County. As a matter of fact, we even saw the snow plow out scraping that layer of ice off the highway. We hit the Rutherford County line, and things started to get a little dicey. We did a little slippin' and slidin' but overall had no big problems. The drive sure was pretty though. I regret that we didn't have the camera with us. This is the first time in many years, that I can remember having snow or a snow day this early. I have a feeling that it bodes of things to come this winter. The good thing about it is I have a little hope for a white Christmas this year! Seeing snow on the ground sure does put you in the Christmas spirit!

Everyone stay warm and have a great weekend!
