Our White Christmas Came Two Weeks Early

An odd thing happened today ... Baton Rouge got snow. It happens once every five or six years, but rarely does it stick. Today, not only did it stick, but it's staying through the day. Elizabeth has been playing in the snow all day long, and discovering that people who live in snowy areas don't use the same cold-weather-clothes that we do. She has to keep coming in and changing clothes because everything is getting wet.

It's around 3 PM, and the snow is still on the ground. It's soggy and slushy, but it's still around.

It's odd that we get to see snow as it falls.

Our neighbors still have their temporary fence up until they can repair the damage done by Hurricane Gustav.
