Grady's First Snow

More snow in the Asheville area, actually most of WNC and the Upstate, what fun! It began here last night about 9:30, at 6:30 this morning I measured 3.2 inches. We switched over to freezing rain about 7:00am before it all was done by noon. No serious ice accumulation. The snow has stuck around all day. Roads were impassable this morning. We were both out! Below are a few pics from the yard. We did get Grady out in it, it was his first snow experience. Those can be seen here:

New Pictures, Finally!

Ok, I have finally uploaded some new pictures. Where are they you ask? Since I use all of Google's other products (gmail, maps, calendar, blogger, etc.), and love them all, I decided to try their photo program, Picasa. I have created three new public albums:

You can click on a photo to view it in a larger format. It may appear blurry at first, but once you advance to the next one and come back, it clears up. A little bug I suppose. I'll try to get some video clips posted soon.

Enjoy!!

Morning Update

We had another extremely light dusting of snow over night. Now at 8:30am on Thursday, it is 12 degrees with a wind-chill of -5!! Should get up to near 30 today. Jen has an in-service day, no students, but she has to go in for a bit, not as early. Grady can go in after 10:00.

More Grady pics coming tonight!

First Snow Accumulation of the Season

We recieved 1/2" here of new snow from the latest storm, though very hard to measure wind-driven snow. The morning low was 15 (-2 wind-chill at 6:30am) and the high today was 21, Burrr, but nice!!! Below are some pics from this morning. Jen was scheduled for an in-service day, I took her in about 10:00, interstates were clear, but all other roads were still mostly covered. No problems. Grady's daycare was closed, he went to the office with me for a bit. We all came home mid-afternoon and worked from home. There was about 2" of snow in Asheville. More closer to the TN line. Been a very cold, windy, WINTRY day, very nice! We'll have chili tonight as we look to bottom out near 13 with below zero wind-chills.
