Snow in Athens

Once again this is Dan making an entry to the blog. We have been slackers again when it comes to making regular posts on here but we're going to do our best.

Anyway we were hit this past Sunday with 7 inches of snow here in Athens! I was in Lexington, KY at a track meet and got regular updates from Shell. When she said that it looked like a Utah snowfall I knew I was going to be stuck for an extra night in Lexington. Driving back on Monday as we drew closer to Athens it looked more and more like I was in Utah than Georgia. I had forgotten how beautiful the fresh snow can be. The kids had a field day and made a snowman and did some sledding. I was greeted by Tucker with a snowball when I finally got home. Of course the elementary schools were shut down for 2 days and the power was lost for awhile, the folks down here are just not equipped to handle that kind of snow. It was a nice change of pace and brought back a few reminders of our years in Utah.

That being said, it's now Friday and currently 70 degrees outside. I'm wearing shorts and enjoying the warmth of the sun. Amazing how the world works! We'll get some pics of the snow soon.
