Okay, okay ... four inches of snow is hardly a weather event, much less a blizzard when you live in Upstate New York. But, Toto, we're not in Albany anymore! The first weekend of March came in like a lion with TONS of rain over about three days. It kept us cooped up, but after the rain shortage of last summer, we have learned to be grateful when we are blessed with free irrigation. The rain turned to snow, however, and because of all the rain, the few salt trucks Greenville County even has couldn't get anything down on the roads. Add 4-6 inches of snow on top of the ice that developed as the temperatures dropped, and we southerners closed up shop and stayed home. Schools were closed for two and a half days, and Evan even took a morning off from GE after his manager emailed to say he tried to go to work and kept sliding off the road. So ... SNOW DAY!!After breakfast, we suited up the best we could and headed out. Easton was not all that impressed with the cold wet stuff, but he enjoyed the scenery from the safety of his wagon. Ella, on the other hand, loved playing in it with Daddy. (Easton and Mama ended up retreating inside to dry socks and an Elmo video.) Ella's buddy Jacob from next door came over for a bit, and they had a great time enjoying this once in a decade weather event in Upstate South Carolina.
The best part? The whole mess was gone in 48 hours, and we enjoyed temps in the 70's Sunday through Wednesday of this week. It is chilly again, but we have had a taste ... spring is on it's way!!

Wow, a lot of snow for a Southern state! It really does look pretty at times tho and clears up real fast. The pics of the kids are always a great treat and Ella just seems to enjoy herself no matter what the weather has to offer. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow, this is awesome. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I think the best part is... it was gone in a few days. Miss playing in the snow with you guys :(
