Are we still in Louisiana?

We woke up to quite a shock this morning. It's not uncommon to happen in north Louisiana but I can only remember once or twice in my lifetime that it happened here. The boys are having a ball playing in it. They can't stay out too long - we aren't exactly prepared with the right kind of jackets and gloves. Snow is not a main factor when picking out winter wear down here.

The boys having a snowball fight (did I really just say that?)

We are used to extended news coverage for hurricanes but today they are staying on with "Snow Coverage 2008". Now we just have to keep our fingers crossed we don't lose power. The lights keep blinking on and off but so far they are staying. Apparently there are a bunch of loose limbs still left over from Hurricane Gustav that are starting to fall under the weight of the ice/snow. What's really strange is on Tuesday we were wearing short sleeve shirts and this weekend they are forecasting temperatures back in the 70's. What a change a day can make.

We don't even have that icky white stuff and we're in Montana!

Looks as if the boys are enjoying themselves!

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you don't lose power!

Enjoy the snow while it lasts! Kids never seem affected by the cold weather!

Your house is beautiful - looks like a holiday greeting card with the snow for the holidays :)

It looks so wintery, we had only gotten a few flakes over in Bama during that. Today it's gonna be 70...lol
