SNOW. With FREAKISHLY HUGE SNOWFLAKES

So on Monday the temperature went from 52 F to 28 F within less than an hour. Fortunately, there were no tornadoes or otherwise dangerous weather systems moving through at the same time.

Also fortunately, it started snowing. Big, heavy wet snowflakes. I kid you not--these flakes were easily 2 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick.

Don't believe me? Well, let's just have a look-see.


This is from the back door.


A few flakes on my sleeve...


See those white patches?? I've NEVER seen snowflakes that big before. *spazzflail*


I finagled Mom into taking a picture of me standing in the freezing cold...my hands are clenched because they were already going numb from just a couple of minutes outside.


Javert has a phobia of looking at the camera. -.-



After five minutes: "Can we go back inside yet?"



Ahem. So yeah, I got a little excited...it's not every day we get a big heavy snow. It stopped after a couple of inches, but still. I hear that Thursday is supposed to bring 5-7 inches. We'll just see if that actually happens or not.
