The Big Snow!

When we woke up this morning to a very big snow in Virginia!

The snow was all the way up to the bus door.

Paw Paw Bill made us a path with his snow blower.

Anthony was super excited to get outside.
The snow was past his knees!



Granny Debbie made Anthony a snow angel!


Anthony stayed out in the cold only for a few minutes before he was saying, "Done. Done." So we made a very mini-snowman!

There was ice hanging off the bus! We knew after the first ice in December it was time to head south! Weather permitting we are traveling towards Florida on Tuesday before Christmas!





Who needs VDOT when you have John Deere and Kubota!
Paw Paw Bill and his neighbor got out their tractors.

"Come on, Baby! We're going to Florida if I have to shovel our way there!" It was 71 degrees in Clermont, Florida...in the 30s here!


The snow measured up to the weather reports! 14" inches in the path, 11" on top of the truck, 19"-25 1/2" in the drifts.




"I love the snow!"

Let It Snow...Let It Snow...Let It Snow

Within a matter of an hour, the ground was covered and very slick! Heather tried to make it to the store and ended up turning around and coming back. Cars were sliding around everywhere!

We got a bowl full of snow for Anthony...he loved it!


Granny Debbie didn't want to miss out on the fun
and swept a path over to the bus!

We made snow cream! Yummmm!
...and watched Christmas movies!


Anthony tried on his snow boots...getting ready for the big snow!
