Winter Storm 2008

Yes I'm calling it a winter storm. In fact, Friday evening I was standing outside with the dog and I saw and heard lightning & thunder, so there! I missed the majority of the snow Friday evening because I went to bed early. Apparently the snowfall really picked up about an hour after my head hit the pillow. J tried to wake me but I was dead to the world. Actually, I was playing possum. I was pretending to be asleep.

I woke up Saturday morning to this:

Shadow was itching to go outside because there's white stuff on the ground MOM! WHITE STUFF! We were both excited. I bundled myself up with a rarely worn hat and gloves.
Here is Shadow in action

The snow was short lived. By Saturday evening most of it had melted away. By Sunday night there were just small patches in shady areas and by Monday it was completely gone. Perhaps this is how Winter wanted to end as Spring arrives...on a bang. I'm happy to say Adieu Winter.
