Snow in the South!?!?

This Saturday we had a snow storm. They started predicting it as early as Thursday. The cities began salting the streets on Friday, a pre-emptive strike against the evil axis of rain, sleet, snow, and ice. By Saturday afternoon their were long lines at the gas stations and according to one report (Josh Anderson) there was a line fromt he front to the back of Costco. There was a run on eggs, milk, bread and at the Kroger bottled water. Because of the impending white doom, two separate activities (a stake talent show and a ward chili cook off) were cancelled. Church services were cancelled through out the region, our went on as normal however. And in the end, we had a 1/4th of an inch. Aw, the power of snow.

How about all that snow..........

Funny how a few years back (pre-Colorado days, of course) that would've been a lot to me. Haven't seen the ground around here for a month and a half. :)

That is a whole lot of action for 1/4 inch of snow! How funny, I guess it is better to be safe than sorry, right? It looks like the kids had fun though. Love you guys.
