They called for snow last Wednesday and we watched and waited, and all we got was the finest dusting of snow that I have ever seen. The flakes were so fine it looked like pixy dust falling from the sky in front of the street lamps that evening. I heard something about a "more serious" storm coming that Friday, but, for some reason, I did not look into it until Thursday night.

They called for several inches to be on the ground by the time we woke up on Friday morning, and there were! It snowed from then until around 9am, and then changed to sleet and then all to freezing rain for the rest of the day, and night, with sprinkles into Saturday. They were almost exactly right in their prediction, for once. We had about 3 inches of snow and 1 inch of ice on top of that. I managed to round up some guys to go "sledding" down one of the hills on the campus, using some old vinyl couch cushions which worked remarkably well! We played "king of the hill" with snowball assaults for about an hour. I was exhausted! but I had to properly welcome the snow, of course. (Response: "Of course!")

As would be expected, the temperature is supposed to reach the 60s this week, so no more snow in the near future, but things can always change with the weather! I am somewhat satisfied now, though. Enjoy the pictures.
