Snowing in St. Louis
Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow!!! That could be the theme song here today in St. Louis. We have our first snow of the season. And it's turned out to be one heck of a snow!! It depends on what part of St. Louis you're in for the snow accumulation, but suffice it to say it's substantial, especially since the largest amount of snow we've had in the past couple of years during one day was 3 inches. We've definitely surpassed that today.
Now even though I've lived in St. Louis for 25 years, I'm still a Chicago girl at heart. So snow doesn't really bother me. In fact, I think it's really quite beautiful. My friends in St. Louis, however don't share the same sentiment. And in fact, they actually are a little obsessed (from my standpoint) with the whole "snow thing" especially when it comes to the roads and driving. Growing up in the Chicago area in a small town with a two lane road leading in to it, I've learned how to drive in snow. No biggie as long as the wind is down and there's no ice, which is the case here today in St. Louis.
Having said all of this, I have to admit, that I haven't gone out today. Nope, I'm enjoying the beauty of the snow from inside my warm home, sitting by the fireplace drinking some hot green tea--just as "snug as a bug in a rug" as my mom would say. Yes, life is good here at the Baugh household. So, let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow!!

It's coming our wat Prof! I just need to make it to the store in the morning to get the stuff for some homemade soup and we will be all set for a snow day!
it's snowing here too!! I love winter. :)
Nothin but rain down South! :( It looks gorgeous though. I'm really jealous. Enjoy the beauty!
What a pretty picture! I love snow but being from the South all we get is rain and a flurry or two! We do have a lot of wind today and I learned to drive in snow when I lived in upstate New York. Nothing shuts down there but everything comes to a stand still in the South.
Enjoy the snow and have a great weekend!!
P.S. I have fixed my bog good enough until my blog designer has time to fix the mess I created! :o)
we got it last night and early morning. i thing we got about 8 or so inches. enough to cancel church and rev up the ol snow blower. it is such a beautiful sight. i love your picture. being from chicago you are well educated in the school of snow. the poor dog does not know what to do with himself. he only goes, well you know what, if we walk him. have a great day.
snow angels to you ~janel
