It really did snow. All day! It first started to fall around 9am, but it was still too warm to stick to the ground. I had been looking at weather.com and knew that there was a lot more to come. A little after the first round, our friend Aubree came to say goodbye. She had driven down from Virginia Beach on Saturday and was heading back. I told her she couldn't leave because it would be too dangerous to drive in. She said that the snow had stopped and it didn't even stick to the ground. I asked her if she had looked at the weather, and she said she had, and it didn't look bad. She obviously hadn't looked because this is what the radar looked like... (I don't know why the map didn't save. The red circle is where we live and the red arrow is the direction the snow was moving.)
I got her on the computer and she was pretty shocked. She ended up staying after all, which is really good because it got really bad. It snowed from about 9am to 9pm, with a couple of breaks. Of course, it started off really weak...
Once it got a little thicker, I took the fam outside for pictures. 
I had opened all the blinds in our house, and it was incredible to walk by them all day and see this sight...
Later in the evening, everyone came over to our house to make a snowman...
As always, everyone wanted a picture with Emily...
We were outside for a good 20-30 minutes. Roxy had so much fun finally getting to play. First she had to walk all over our yard and inspect things out. Once she had decided that the snow wasn't going to hurt her, she started running all around.
Our lovely snowman...
It is finally starting to melt a little (at 11am), but we awoke to it still looking pristine this morning. It was such a fun experience, but I don't think I could live like this every winter. Roxy says otherwise, though.
