I love reading your posts each night and am so sorry that I only seem to get to mine on the weekend. Speaking of weekends, ours has snow in the forecast. Many people are happy. I could live without it. We have 100% chance with accumulation up to an inch but hopefully if we do get any, it will melt since the temperature is getting up to 41°. However, there will be a NNW wind of 10 - 20 mph so that will keep it colder. The problem with snow in our area is our subdivision won't get the roads cleared and we live at the top of a shady hill. Oftentimes when snow is predicted for our area, it will hit the mountains near Chattanooga and get diverted - - so we will not get too excited or apprehensive until we wake up in the morning.
We do have a funny story in our family history about being awakened early one morning. It was probably early winter of 1993. About 4 a.m., our 4th grade daughter woke us up saying, "The dog sees something outside and won't stop barking." We were more than a little bit spooked. So here we go sneaking toward the kitchen and peering around the bedroom door frame to try and see what was going on. We could see the dog was sitting on the floor looking out the glass double doors - - - - barking like crazy at something he did not think should be out there - - - - - - - big white snowflakes falling from the sky! He wasn't a year old yet and it was the first time he had ever seen snow. We were relieved and also amused to see the perplexed look on his face. Somewhere in our albums, there are pictures of him trying to catch snowballs. He loved the snow as much or more than a child.
Back to the present time - - if it doesn't snow and the roads are clear tomorrow, I will have a good picture to post sometime Saturday.

Aren't you happy it did snow Miss Lynda...not like the blizzard of 93. Yet, it was very pretty while it lasted. Hope you got a few pictures, we did :)
That is so funny about the dog. My dog loves to romp around and roll in the snow. We are expecting a big snowfall next week. I guess he will get his chance to play in it then.
