Snow Day


Today we were lucky enough to enjoy a SNOW DAY!  Last night we got a few inches of snow, but we also got freezing rain.  Classes got cancelled and they even closed the Dental Clinic which hardly ever happens.  It literally has rained ALL day today and it is still coming down (it's like 10 pm right now).  It's cold so the rain turns to ice pretty quickly.  I know ice storms can be very dangerous when you are out driving and can cause things like power outages and stuff, but they make things look so beautiful!  Everything is coated with ice; sidewalks, cars, snow, and all the bushes and tree branches.  Here are some pictures that I took today...

Our frozen sidewalk!  Our poor neighbor totally ATE IT while walking on it today.  Now when you see him walking to his car he goes straight through the snow!

Some frozen branches.  Look how thick the ice is!

Some more frozen branches

Brad went out to clean off the car.  It had a thick layer of ice on top of the snow and you could break it off in big chunks.
