Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Here are some pics of the snow we just got (and its still coming down as I type!!)

In the morning, took a ruler to measure what had fallen during the night...it had almost doubled by the time I got home from school. Its a little hard to read, but the snow is at the 5" mark.
Our garden


A fountain in the center of town


One of my roads to school



Snow is definitely for kids...they were giddy with it all day!
