Here is our rate sight...a palm tree in the snow. I tried to document the snow as they day went in because we never knew how much we would really get. This was is the morning, around 9 AM.
By lunch...
Palm tree just after lunch
Madison took to a fort city.
Small snowman
The city continued to grow as the snow did.
By mid afternoon
Dinnertime
The snow was not done yet, and you can see the accumulation on the table.
The worst part about this storm was Edward was trying to drive home from Virginia in it for the weekend. The first day of the storm was snow, but we got all the ice the second day, which was Wesnesday. Edward's classes were cancelled due to the storm, so he was trying to drive home in the ice. It took him five hours when it normally takes three. Thanksl goodness for All Wheel Drive! I went out that night and shoveled some tire tread marks for him. The roads and driveway were a sheet of glass with all that snow and the ice on top. The snow and ice were extremely heavy. As he drove in, it was eerily quiet due to no one on the roads. I could hear him plowing his way down the subdivision. The noise was so loud die to all the ice. We are bye glad he made it home for a few days.
The gnome was rescued!
Great sight on Thursday morning! There are only 17 plows in our whole large county, and we loves seeing this come through the subdivision. They honked and waved to us too.
Crunching in the ice
Chunks of snow and ice
I was very glad to have help shoveling the driveway during this snowstorm :)
