Let it Snow, let it snow, and even more SNOW!

An entire week of snow. Who would have thought 6 inches of the stuff would shut this city down. But as Sunday night (Jan 9th) came to a close around 10 pm, the snow fell...and came down fast and hard. With a layer of ice underneath it all and temps frozen below 20 degrees the weather system that brought the white stuff did exactly that...shut Atlanta down for an entire week. The schools were closed from Monday through Friday and most didn't reopen until the 17th of January.

Day 1 - Monday, January 10th

Day 2 - Tuesday, January 11th
Fun with our neighbors - The Riley family came down for some sledding and snow fun!

At the end of the second day,temps still near 20 degress, the sun managed to peak out. We gathered the snow off the front covered porch and built a little snowman.

Day 3 - January 12th - Sunny but SUPER COLD.
At the end of this day we knew we would have to start scraping the driveway if we were going to get out. The next two days were the worst on the roads. Some of the snow and ice would melt and refreeze again each night. By day 5 most of the roads had been scraped at least once and sanded. Even our road finally got scraped and sanded...ironically the last day we finally cleared the driveway of ice.

Day 6 - Saturday, January 15th ... lots of snow still around
