Snow Surprise

Last evening we had snowfall.  The snow was coming down in big, fat, fluffy flakes.  It was covering everything really fast.  I thought we'd have a lot of snow to shovel this morning, but in the very late evening, the snow flakes turned to rain.  I think it must have rained all night.  It was raining when I was up at 5:30.  It's still raining.  It must be a cold, almost freezing rain. There's still lots of snow in our yard but water is running down the street.  Between midnight and 3 AM the plows and salt trucks were busy doing the streets and the sidewalk plow went through a couple of times. 

I'd rather have snow than rain today.

    It's raining cats and dogs here; no snow of course. It's supposed to keep raining through Christmas. I sure hope the weatherman is wrong! The only time in my remembrance that it snowed here was in 1989 (I think). My little neighbor, Dottie Doolittle, told me "I don't care how much it snows, I'm not missing church!" Well, all the bridges were frozen over, and closed. Poor little Dottie!

    We are expecting rain today and on Christmas. I wanted to tell you that I've enjoyed reading your Christmas posts. :)

    I think we'll be back to snow for Christmas. In fact, the temperature is supposed to be dropping through the day.

    Thanks, Lorraine, about the Christmas article. I have a couple more I'll add yet.

    Just think how happy your garden is going to be. :) I was just outside for a short walk in search of breakfast treats for my boss and I and big, fluffy flakes are falling softly here too. It's just beautiful.

    I so love snow! I do not like it when it immediately turns to rain, then slushy mud. Makes something so pretty look so UGLY!

    Right you are! Snow should stay around for a while! It is snowing again. The roads are at that icy stage between the end of the rain and the beginning of the snow. I much prefer the snow right now, even if it's lots of snow.
