Virginia Beach Snow Storm of January 2010

Well so much for our average temps of 55 in the winter! Does anyone remember our first Christmas that we stayed in Slidell, LA and didn't come home to Michigan?.... yeah, it snowed for the first time in a gazillion years! Well it seems that the snow loves The Carter Family and it follows us! Apparently there is a 7 and 23 year cycle here for snow. It's odd. Every 7 years they get a snow storm that produces around 6 inches of snow. And every 23 years they get a storm that gives them over 8 inches of snow. Like I said, and odd cycle. Well apparently they were due for the 23 year cycle.... and we got it!
We have around 6-8 inches of snow!!!! The roads closed down, there was a state of emergency issued! Well we just decided to stay home and play in it:)

oh my! you freaks... snow does follow you;) i remember when it snowed here, too. the kids loved it... for about 30 minutes because, unlike you, we have no real snow gear... windbreakers don't keep out the cold long... but they sure enjoyed the hot chocolate afterward=) GREAT pictures!!!
