Wowzers!!! What a night! T'was the ghost of winters past all night long. It started yesterday with a nice little snow storm that produced some huge fluffy flakes. There was sufficient moisture in the air to make for perfect snowball and snowfort construction material. Since the temperature didn't drop much below freezing, the snow remained very heavy and stuck tenaciously to everything it touched. Therefore, the emergency calls started coming in fast and flurrier. The electricity went out a few times here in Webbville, and we heard of two pretty big outages in ShowLow on the FD radio. Cars were running off the road and all sorts of medical calls were coming in for Pinetop, Lakeside and ShowLow. Then we got a call from Quentin asking if our lights were out. At that time we had electricity here. Then Q explained that the lines had fallen on his car and his whole neighborhood was dark. We invited him to come over but he thought he could tough it out. Which he did till just a little before 6 o'clock. Then we heard Jhade's little squeaky cry and knew that Christmas had arrived early...Poor Yesenia needed to sleep and it was just too cold in ShowLow with no furnace. So mom took care of Jhade and Q and Y got a nap and got to eat some yummy biscuits and gravy upon arising. I shoveled some paths to the woodpile and to Gramp and Gram Webb's place then shoveled some snow off the roof. Brought back some good memories. Lead on, global warming!

Sounds like the crazy kind of night we had here. check out my blog for our crazy, windy night!
It's always magical when it snows... as long as it snows far from where I am! Unfortunately, we've gotten our share of the white muck too. Double unfortunately, it's FAR from the magical stuff that fell for you guys. Ours is dry, icy slick yucky and nasty. It's been cold cold cold. I'm glad you guys get to enjoy your wet white stuff. Build a fort and have some fun on Ellery's behalf!
Wow, I love all the snow pictures. It really makes me home sick. I never miss living in the snow, but I do miss being around when its falling. There is something so fantastically timeless about thick heavy falling snow. Can't be beat. Thanks for sharing Dad!
