It's A Winter Wonderland!

I woke up this morning to a weird sound. Like rice Krispies. Or something. I checked my phone to see what time it was and found pictures from Lily and Jessie which depicted something like snow. I knew that snow does not make a sound as it falls so it had to be ice and oh god, the Icepocolpse was happening.

It was hard to believe but there it was- white stuff on the ground and then in a little while, it got quiet and actual flakes began to fall.

A few pictures.


This was early on.


Picture from Lily.


The boys made a snowman with the snow collected on the trampoline.


Is this how you make a snow angel? I hear that's a thing.


Mick kept picking his feet up like, "Whoa! What the hell?"


I can't help it. CHICKENS IN THE SNOW!


And snow in palms.

Well, now it's just dripping water off the eaves. Perhaps tonight we'll get some icicles.

Oh, how easily amused and amazed we Floridians are.

Love...Ms. Moon

    When was the last time you had snow in Florida! I love the pics of the chickens in the snow. They look so confused.

      I think the last time we had snow in Florida was at least twenty years go. Maybe more.
      Those chickens crack me up.

    It hasn't started here yet! Anxiously awaiting the snow!

    I love how creative southern kids can be with such tiny amounts of snow! Great job to Owen and Gibson!

      Have you read my post tonight, re: exclamation points?
      And I was most impressed with that snow man.

    Best snowman ever! Is this the first time your grandkids have seen snow?

    right?! we got about 5 minutes of sleet yesterday but that was it. coldest night so far last night, so cold I don't think my blankets and plastic will have saved any spring blooms.

      Well, the spring blooms may appear. Let's just wait and see.

      Was that the year it snowed in the Bahamas? Something like 1979?

      Maybe that's the same year I remember. '77 I think?

    Reminds me of the one day in Dublin when it snowed - it rarely does - and the radio guy warning the confused rich kids in the wealthy suburbs to not try cutting the white stuff up with their credit cards. To cold, he warned, hurts the nose.

    LOL -- that's a fairly grimy-looking snowman!
