There had been hype for days that we would be getting snow yesterday. I guess I've heard it so many times over the years only to be disappointed, that I seriously doubted the weather reports. We left for our prayer group yesterday around noon. It was raining and starting to sleet a little as we were pulling out of the driveway. As we got closer to our destination it started snowing. Then it started sticking to the road. We made it there, had a nice time praying and good fellowship while enjoying the scenery. Around 4 pm, Jason went outside and quickly came back in to announce it was time for us to leave. We packed up and headed out unaware that our trip home would be so eventful! We were only halfway home when we were left with only one driveable lane. Then we saw a slow plow!?! I didn't know there were snow plows in Georgia! Shortly thereafter Jason had to put it in four wheel drive. We were only a few miles from home when we encountered a tree that had fallen down blocking the road. We had to turn around and take a dirt road. We arrived home safely but first we had to dodge a few power lines that had been knocked down and were hanging low. We weren't surprised to find our power out when we got home. We started a fire and David and Jason headed outside to play. These first three pictures and video were taken last night.
After having been without power for a few hours we had just taken some things out of the refrigerator and put them outside for the night. I lit some candles and was working up a plan on how to keep the kids warm through the night. Thankfully, shortly after that the power came back on! From what I hear, we were lucky though. We know some people who still didn't have power this morning. It was announced last night that our county's schools would be closed today. Jason got to stay home from work too and what a treat it was! The pictures below were taken today after the snow had melted a good bit.
That was our street. Since I'm on immuno-suppresive medication I decided to stay inside with Wesley. We watched through the window and occasionally opened the door to take a better look. Here he is playing inside...
Wesley so hungry...
...he could eat a pig ; )

very pretty but all you had to say was "no power" and I'm glad we got NONE! Snow is fun but it messes up everything!!! No thanks...glad you enjoyed it though :)
I love those pictures of Wesley eating the pig. The snow pictures are great too. I wish we had taken more.
You guys got a lot more snow than we did but we never lost power, thankfully! Looks like David had a great time. It is beautiful!
That does sound eventful! I am glad David got to play outside before it got too late... he looks totally thrilled.
I have loved seeing all the pictures of the snow you all got. Down here we are lucky, I mean LUCKY if we get flurries. I am gald they got the power restored so quickly for you all. Wesley is getting so big!!
You got more snow than we did! Love it. Wesley is Momma's little piggy, eating a little piggy.
Wow - you guys really did get snow!! I thought our one or two inches was pretty cool, but nothing like that! So fun for David!
Your house is beautiful! Next time you comment on my blog, tell me where you're living these days.
What beautiful pictures! It looks like David had a blast playing in the snow! You are so lucky... we didn't have any snow stick here in Hall County. We have gotten one, good snow every year we have lived here, so we were a little bummed for Cailee... she was excited seeing it falling and wanted to play in it so bad! We are glad you guys had a bunch!!
