Two Thursday’s ago, it rained ice around here but nothing around our house really accumulated.  It started again last night around 12:30.  Didn’t accumulate much, about an inch to an inch and a half of ice, but it’s snowing out there now.

Ice balls While I’m hoping the snow doesn’t get too bad, the highlight of my day was throwing ice balls at Steve.  :P

Thankfully he didn’t reciprocate ’cause those things can be brutal.  He’s looking out the window now though, telling the sky to “c’mon and snow!”  He wants to do donuts in parking lots, apparently.

I’m almost surprised I’m not frostbit, though.  When he got back with a trailer full of wood, I helped bring it in the house and never bothered to put real shoes on – just my customary sandals.

So we’ll see what happens.  Some parts of our state are expecting something like 15 inches.  While the snow is okay, I don’t really like being cold (of course, now we have some decent wood, so that’s good) and I get frustrated if the weather hampers my plans.  ;-)
