Look at the Frosty Snow!

Last Wednesday (Jan. 16th) afternoon and early evening, it snowed here in Atlanta! It did start to stick, although it was mixed with freezing rain and in the end the rain melted the snow. Gabi went outside to investigate the snow, but when the neighbor kids came over to play with her, she retreated to the kitchen and just watched through the window. After the snow started to disappear, we invited Melia (5), Nicholas (7), Joshua (9), and their mom inside for some hot chocolate, and Gabi warmed up to them.

On Saturday it snowed again! Since Thursday, Gabi has been complaining that her ear hurts, so I took her to the doctor on Saturday morning. When we left out house, the snow was just beginning to fall, and by the time we arrived at the doctor's office, the world was turning white.

This time it snowed a lot (for the South -- one to two inches) and is still melting outside today (Monday). Daddy played in the snow with Gabi girl and helped her build a mini-snowman while Mommy stayed inside with Annabelle. The snow continued until dinnertime and then hung around because temperatures dipped into the teens overnight.
