Here are a few shots from early in the day:
Not really sure who's barn this is, but I thought it was pretty.

Our town square
Our redneck snowman — notice the John Deere cap and Miller Lite eyeballs. Very classy. This is what happens when you build a snowman at a guy's house. Your choices of accessories are slim to none. As a side note, please excuse the way I'm squatting. It looks like I'm trying really hard not to pee my pants.
Me and Cat at work Friday morning
Most everyone cleared out of work by 1:30, and the city closed the roads at 2 - supposedly because us southerners aren't used to driving on ice. To my surprise, we still had snow on the ground in some areas throughout the weekend. And remnants of some snowpeople are still standing around town, which is strange, considering it was a warm, sunny 62 on Sunday. (Unfortunately, it's a frigid 25 today.)
It has definitely been a strange winter, and I have to be honest here... I'm extremely ready for the hot days of a southern summer. Bring on the sunscreen, boiled peanuts, flip flops and days on the lake. You can keep this cold stuff. It was fun for a day, but I've had my fill.

I'm ready for the snow to disappear also! I live in North Bama and this is about the third or fourth week in a row we have had snow. The pics are pretty!
Welcome to my world! Redneck snowman made me laugh by the way.
Ah, it looks so pretty! I lovelovelove trees with snow on them!
Ahhh your description of summer just made my heart ache! I can't wait!! I sure hope they have boiled peanuts in El Paso!
Yeah we had two inches Monday and Tuesday. So not cool.
I love your little redneck snowman!!! And what is up with all these places that shouldn't have snow getting snow? What about the whole global warming thing???
Wow, you definitely got more than we did (which is fine with me). LOVE the redneck snowman! I'll bet my neighbors built something similar, but it probably melted when they set their yard on fire later that night. ;)
You won't want to move to Minnesota anytime soon then, we get 6 months of it every year!
I, too, am ready for flip flops, sunscreen and all those other wonderful things that make up our southern summers. Give me 90's and sweat over 30's and dry skin any day!

Oh yeah, I forgot to say how cute you look in those pictures! and the snowman is adorable!
WOW! Awesome Heather!!
Here in India we can find so much of snow only in Kashmir and Himachal ....(though i have not visited these two places;))
And the snowman snap is lovely:)
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now. Keep it up!
And according to this article, I totally agree with your opinion, but only this time! :)
:-)
I`m actually sad coz here it's getting warm and all the snow is going away... I like frost and snow!
There's a good side to it though - I may go rock climbing.
But I still have some unsettled business on the high mountains which can only be resolved in freezing cold.
Maybe we'll have another run of freezing before springs hits.
I hope you'll get your sunshine back.
Cheers!
We had the same surprise snow weather a few months ago, it rarely snows where I live. I love your new profile picture!
