We had another chance for a wintry mix on January 16th and that evening it started to sleet and ice was falling.
Close to dark it turned to snow and we could see flakes falling. Gianna didn't go back out that night because it was too cold. Hudson had been waiting all day on the snow and he played in it for a while.
When we woke up the next morning, there was about an inch of snow covering the yard.
The rain had frozen so the driveway was slippery. Gianna fell when she was walking to the front of the house.
The water was dripping overnight and it froze like an icicle
The roads were icy and the bridge was closed. People were told to stay off the roads if possible. Josh was home and didn't know what to do with himself. So, he went in his shop and cooked gumbo.
I let the kids off for the first snow day, but we didn't need to take off another day. I let them play out in the morning and we started a little later. Hudson warmed up by the fire while we did science.
Hudson could play in the snow for hours! He loved it. He had a toy tractor and was on the ground pretending to plow the snow. It did stick around for another day since the temperature didn't get over freezing.

They were getting a little bored being home for a few days. We made snowflakes out of coffee filters.
I had them do a kids exercise video to help get some energy out
