snowy night

Last Tuesday (as in nearly two weeks ago) the snow came down, hard.  I went to bed at 12:00 a.m. and when I got up at 6:30 the ground was absolutely covered.  And school was cancelled.  That means serious business around here.  Here's some pictures that John captured of our backyard sometime between those 6.5 hours.  I have to say they're some of my favorite snow pictures we've taken up here.  I like that it's nighttime and our yard lights are shining beneath the blanket of snow.

By the end of Thursday all the snow had melted.  On Sunday it was 60 degrees.  Crazy weather...I blame global warming :)
