It happened today. Everyone told us when we moved here that it snows in Mississippi maybe once every 10 years. Well, this is what we woke up to:
I realize that this is not a lot of snow. I’ve certainly lived with much, much worse- but this small amount of snow is so unusual it shut down our whole town. People were so excited! I drove around this afternoon and I saw more snowmen in yards than I think I ever saw the whole time that we lived in Indiana. Some good friends of ours built a very well planned snow igloo today and they documented the progress on Facebook. Here’s the final igloo:
Isn’t that amazing? It took all of them 4 hours.
Here’s our Bogart- soaking wet and asking to come in after playing all morning outside. I think he misses the snow.
Just to give a little background- the average high in February in Hattiesburg is 64 and the average low is 39. It’s pretty nice. A few days ago it was in the upper 50s and Emmaline picked this out of our yard and brought it to me:
It’s supposed to be in the 50s again tomorrow, so I guess it’s true what they say: If you don’t like the weather here, just wait. It’ll change tomorrow.

hey that's us! Ross and my kids are already planning a big project for the next snow. A huge snow quarter pipe. We have had 4 snows in Anna Reese's life and only 5 in Tanner's. We shouldn't be due for another snow til 2040.
Snow anywhere in the South is a big deal! It sure is pretty though. Check out my blog - I posted a picture there.
Great pics! Enjoy the snow but watch out for unskilled drivers--they'll slip and slide right through the intersection.
