Space Egghead: Let It Snow

I woke up this morning to our first snowfall of the 2009 winter season. That's good news and bad news. The good news is that it means pancakes for breakfast. Jackie and I have a tradition, since we've been married, that we have breakfast pancakes when it snows. This morning it was buckwheat and oatmeal pancakes with butter and maple syrup. Yummie! The bad news is that I have to shovel. Ugh!

I thought that I would post some photos throughout the day to show all you snowbirds down in Florida and out in Arizona what a beautiful winter snowfall looks like. So, stop by throughout the day to keep updated. As of 9 AM this morning, it's about 5 inches and counting!

My buddy, Gary Nisley, who lives a little ways up in Leektown, reports about 6 to 7 inches at 9 AM. My sister-in-law down in Charlottesville, Virginia called at 11:30 this morning and said they had 2 feet of snow on the ground and that it was still coming down. She had planned to be in New Gretna for Christmas, but we may not see her until New Years.

If others out in the Blog-O-Sphere email me photos of the snow in their yard, I'll post them here along with my photos. Let's see who gets the most snow!
