Moving to Tennessee from South Carolina meant one thing for sure...colder weather. Cold weather hopefully means snow at some point. Last year we got a nice amount right after we moved here. This year did not disappoint either. In the course of 2 weeks during February we had snow on the ground 4 different times. This meant we were out of school for a total of two weeks as well. We did not have snow that whole time, but due to extremely cold weather and the constant threat of snow the kids and I enjoyed a nice, unexpected winter vacation!
One of my best memories from our snow this year was convincing the kids to go night sledding. All of our big snow came right after dinner on two different occasions. Within an hour each time, we had close to 4-5 inches with more falling. The conditions were perfect. Add to it, that all of the neighbors and their kids had come out to play as well and we had two perfect evenings and a lot of fun!
Here are some pics from our first big snow. It came on a Friday night...
And here are pics from the 2nd big snow, which was much bigger and close to 6-8 inches. It came on a Wednesday night.
