Christmas Eve snow storm

Mark and I woke up at 4 a.m. Thursday morning to sleet hitting the bedroom window. The news said that we would have snow Christmas Eve (8-10 inches) so we didn't know what to expect. When we woke up the ice was mainly coming down with winds up to 30 mph. As the day progressed the winds picked up and the ice turned into snow. Mark went out about 2:00 p.m. to measure the snow accumlation in the backyard, we had 3 inches. Mark and Chad left to drive around the neighborhood when they came back and measured the snow we had around 6.5 inches.

Wesley's first glance at snow. It was very cold outside. Wesley didn't like the snow blowing in his face.

Mark sat Wesley in the snow and a huge gust of wind blew in his face, needless to say he didn't care for the snow.

Front of the house, 4 p.m. The trucks had snow drifts of about 12 inches infront of the tires.

About 12:00 the winds picked up to 60 mph at a time.

Looks like we will have a white Christmas after all. We can't wait to get up on Christmas morning and build a snowman with Wesley for the first time.
