We had planned to go to a Christmas parade today but the forecast kept us home. I'm glad now I can enjoy this snow from our warm house. Jon still has to take the band to the parades today and tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers that the parade for tonight gets cancelled so he can come home and enjoy watching the snow fall with us.
The poor little House Finches are fluffed up and huddling on the feeders right now. I'm not sure they're so crazy about the snow. Evan hasn't learned to say the "F" sound yet. He loves to point out the different types of birds on our feeder. I think we have the only feeders visited by "House Bitches".
I took this picture 20 minutes ago. The snow has accumulated so much since then. We have about an inch on the grass and trees. Not much is sticking to the pavement yet.

I'm going to update later with the really snowy pics. The kids are outside right now playing in it. When you get a snow in NC, you have to play in it right away since it could be melted and gone in an hour. Evan's nap is being postponed due to snow. :) Man, I'm loving this!! Snow, baby snow!!

Isn't the first snow fun? I live in SW Washington. We don't get much. Our winter weather is mostly non-stop rain and low clouds. But we had one day. The dogs and kids get to openly show their excitment. The think about Evan and the finches is very funny.
LeAnn, I agree. That first snow is magical. :) I think it's even better in climates like ours because it doesn't snow very often.
Hehe, yep, Evan's bird identification cracks us up. I guess it's better then the way I said "Fire Truck" as a 2 year old. ;)
Oh man, it's so pretty!! I'm glad you're getting snow, even if we aren't. ;-)
Even in Maine the snow is the topic of all conversation. I have lived here 3 years and I still love it. I think NC is beautiful in the snow. Then, I think NC is beautiful at any time of the year. Merry Christmas.
