These are taken with my phone because the batteries in my camera suddenly decided to go kaput right after I turned it on tonight (and I don’t have any freshly recharged batteries). The first (and probably only) major snow event of Winter 2008. We’ve even had thunder! Cuh-razee weather!

For those of you who live in snowy locations, you gotta understand a couple of things.

First, this the South. We don’t get snow, as a general rule. Or at least not much more than the occasional flurry or light dusting, so anything more than 1/60th of an inch is waaaay too much for us to handle.

Second, I’m still a California girl at heart. I’m so very fascinated by
weather of any kind that I’m as giddy as a kid at Christmas whenever it
rains, thunders, or snows. To have all that in one evening, way too
cool!! Way. To. Cool!!

So naturally I’m gonna take lots of pictures of this amazing and beautiful thing called snow. And, of course, I have to prove I was actually there and not just cribbing someone else’s pics.

Happy Winter Snow Day, everyone!
