It's Snowing!!!!

We heard that stories that it snowed in October here, but I really thought we were going to make it until November since we hadn't seen any yet. Yesterday evening I looked outside and we saw the first flurries. We don't have too many positive things to say about our house right now, but one great thing is all the windows! Paige sat on a chest we have in front of the hall window and she loved watching the flurries.

This morning, I woke up and looked out the window and SHOCKED to see that it never stopped snowing...all night long! We had a few inches outside on our cars and porch. Since it was still dark when we were eating breakfast, I turned out the lights in the kitchen so Paige could see the snow outside while she ate.

It's now after 11am and it still isn't stopping. My guess is we're at about 6 inches already! I just can't believe that the first snow of the year (in October) would have this much accumulation!!!

Here are some pics I took earlier today.

Paige liked to watch it, but she definitely didn't want to walk in it. I had to carry her out into the car and also from the car into daycare. I showed her the snow covered pumpkins outside and she was just speechless (and so was I). She does love to wear her new mittens and hat. More accessories!

How pretty! It's still fairly sunny and warm here in Cinci. Amazing how a few hours and elevation can make that much difference.--Nama

Liz was the same way last year. She hated walking in the snow!
I can't believe how much snow you got. We had some flurries, but no accumulation.
