Where did THIS come from?

So, where did this come from?

Snow!  AGAIN!

Snow! AGAIN!

It’s the second snowfall here in my part of South Carolina this year.  (It’s also the second snowfall we’ve had in the last five years.)

This time, though, the college (and most local schools and businesses) didn’t issue a delay or cancellation.  That was unfortunate, since driving conditions during this snowfall were much worse than during the last one.

Let’s just say I’m thankful my car’s got traction and stability control …

Cate’s snow day

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

It doesn’t snow very much down in these parts of South Carolina.  There’s so little snow here that today was Cate’s first time to see snow anywhere other than on the television.

It’s good that the college was closed, since that meant that we could stay howm today and allow Cate to enjoy the snow with us.

Cate's first snow day:  January 20, 2009.  Cate has noticed that she can leave footprints, so she's started stomping around the front yard.

Cate enjoyed the snow quite a bit.  She was so wild abut the snow that we ended up taking her outside about four different times over the course of the day.  Cate has also learned the basics of the snowball fight – how to make snowballs, and how to throw them at things.  At the moment, she prefers large, stationary targets to moving ones.

Targets like Patty's car!

I wonder if there will be any snow left for Cate to play in tomorrow afternoon.
