Snow is in the Forecast

12/16/2010

We have snow, about 2". There have been a few days of flurries, but this is the 1^st real snow.
It started snowing at 1100 (video) while we were at Margaret's baking Christmas cookies. Though we had planned on going out to Ruby Tuesday's for dinner, Margaret decided we'd better not try that and we agreed.
From the back yard (video), the snow is serene. Out the front door (video), can be seen cat tracks and rabbits tracks.

We had started the cookies before the snow began. video
