So, you may have noticed that about a week ago, I blogged about loving the warm winter weather. Well, we went from a high of 77 degrees on Saturday, January 29 to a high of 16 degrees on Wednesday, February 2. Crazy, huh!? Who knew things could change so much in just 4 days. We haven't gotten any snow since we moved to Graham over the summer, but man did we get hit on Tuesday. I have searched and searched online to find an official snowfall total for Tuesday but haven't been able to find anything (part of living in a small town, I'm sure). So yesterday, I went into our backyard and did some official measuring--6.5"! It only snowed/iced on Tuesday and 6.5" was what was left after 3 days, though I don't think much had melted because today's our first day above freezing since Monday.
Though these kind of conditions are common in many parts of the country, I'm guessing they're not here because the town has pretty much been shut down since Monday. Grocery stores have been open, but no school, mail or trash pickup since Monday. There's been very little traffic, too, because the streets were so icy. No salt trucks in a small town either. Our driveway is fairly flat with only a small dip before the street, but my car got stuck there for 20 minutes this morning when Caleb and I tried to go to the grocery store.
Anyway, I took Caleb out to play in the snow for a little bit on Tuesday, but he didn't know what to think. He couldn't really walk much in it because when he sank down all the way, the snow came to his knees. He sure was cute, though. (By the way, yes, those are grocery bags on Caleb's feet--we don't typically need snow boots in Texas!) :) Here are some pictures from our winter wonderland.
