A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.

We haven't had much snow in years past but the Lord is making up for lost time. Good grief, I am so tired of seeing snow. We had a nice snow storm of 10 inches in December. I'll admit, I enjoyed having a white Christmas. It was beautiful. The children and the dog enjoyed playing in it. Then it melted leaving us with a cold muddy mess. Normally that wouldn't bother me but now we have a dog so mud and is not my friend.
Then we were teased with a few days of spring like weather. We were so happy. It was wonderful while it lasted. Now, we're stuck with this winter wonderland once again.
Just last week, we had another snow storm receiving 12 inches. I don't remember it snowing this much since I was a child. The girls have gotten out in it twice. That's it. And it was the nice fluffy kind that would have been great to play in. They just have no desire to go out in the cold wet mess.


Not sure what Bec was doing here.

Em enjoys a warm cup of hot chocolate.

This is as far as she got on her snowman before giving up.
Throughout the week, we had some rain and above freezing temperatures so the snow was starting to melt leaving another muddy mess in it's wake.
And wouldn't you know... we get more snow! Thankfully central VA isn't getting hit like places to the north and west of us. We received about 2 inches yesterday followed by sleet and then rain. I awoke this morning to no type of precipitation. Unfortunately, it didn't last. It is steadily snowing. Thankfully it's small flakes and we are only expected to get 3-6 inches.
These last 3 photos were taken minutes ago. I didn't take many pictures last week so I thought I could take just a few today. It is pretty coming down. I'll admit it. I just hate how it canceled all of our plans for the day. Right now, my Emmadoodle should be starting her basketball game instead of watching a movie on tv. Sigh...I guess I should be productive and take advantage of the time home to clean. Although that isn't really appealing either. Humph. Snow...
