What A Relief It Melted

Percy:  No, this is not what is happening today. This was last Monday, January 27th. Our first, and hopefully, only snowfall of the year. We were offline at the time that horrible storm moved into the "sunny South" and couldn't share photos so we're going to share them now. 

Cameron:  There was basically no traffic, only snow and ice.

Cyndi  We could have counted every car that went by on both roads because of the loud crunching of tires on ice or tires trying to get traction on a bad patch.  Fortunately, there were very few vehicles during the night or we wouldn't have gotten any sleep.  And I do need my beauty sleep.

 

Buddy:  This was Marcus' first glimpse of snow.  As you can see from the few paw prints, he and Sam did a quick pee and wanted back inside.  But Jan stood on the top step in her boots and a coat taking pictures and made them stay outside to enjoy the snow.  I get cold easily, so Jan let me in the house. 

Micah:  See all the paw tracks now?  Sam and Buddy finally got the hang of it and started to play.

Merci:  I sat on a step and watched the snow fall.

Rusty:  This is what it looked like by the next afternoon.  Kids were outside playing and the ice was melting on the street.

Percy  Doesn't that look peaceful?  Jan said the snow was pretty but she was glad she didn't have to go anywhere in it.

Sam:  We're glad the snow and the icicles on the house have melted.  We are not prepared for weather like this, as folks are in areas where ice and snow are "normal," so in advance of the storm, it was announced county offices and schools would be closed and people were told to stay off the roads. 

Buddy:  We saved these photos for Thankful Thursday because we are truly thankful this is in the past and we've had a chance to thaw out.  It's been so cold here this winter, we have missed many of our walks.  I don't expect Jan will want to make up for them in the spring.  She's getting kind of old, you know. 

We're going to join Pepi Smart Dog for Thankful Thursday.
