Snow, snow and more snow

Yesterday before we went to the get together at our daughter's and son-in-law's I phoned and made arrangements to take Mom to the store to get some groceries before we got snow-bound...it's supposed to start snowing late tonight or tomorrow morning. Had a lovely time at our daughter's but about 9pm it started snowing so we headed home. It was funny snow...more like frozen rain and it kept freezing to the windshield of the truck. We got Mom home then came home. We were sitting and having a hot toddy when we saw flashing red lights through the window. Looked out, the firetruck was parked in front of the house next door and was soon joined by an ambulance. Couldn't really see what was going on. This morning it was still snowing tiny little flakes, but it never stopped all day and is still snowing. I started doing a jig-saw puzzle so I wouldn't look outside all the time. It's hard to believe it was a week ago last night when we got the first snowfall! For an area that rarely gets snow we've certainly had our allotment ...and the forecast is for more white stuff. The Christmas lights do look pretty in the snow though!
