6+ inches of snow

Criticize how Southerners react to snow all you want but it is GREAT when we get a surprise holiday from work and school and are told by the authorities to stay in the house with our loved ones. Most of the time our culture drives us at a fast pace away from home and hearth. We all want more time with those we love. What a terrific gift a snow day really is.

More than 6 inches today in Greenwood, strangely dry this morning like Western snow. But the sleet started about noon so we abandoned making snow angels in the dry powder and turned to making snowballs and snowmen with the packed powder.
