Snowy in Lascours

As many of you know, the major disappointment of my most recent trip to the US was not getting any real snow anywhere. Mom and I drove through some flakes on our way to Kansas, one day in Norman a few almost miniscule flakes manifested themselves in the air, the same in Pittsburgh, but no significant snow occured anywhere I was (although almost everywhere else around the country seemed to be getting unusual amounts). Yesterday I heard that snow was forecast for during the night. I commmented on Facebook that I was hoping it would snow as planned and got a smartass comment from one brother (who will go unnamed though you can probaby guess his identity) that it would probably snow somewhere. I responded that with my recent record it probably wouldn't be here but that one should always hope ... And, SNOW it did, and still is! I got up this morning at eight and opened the shutters to falling snow and about a centimeter already on the ground. I promptly got out my camera and took the requisite photos. As I type, snow is still falling and it looks like there are at least two centimeters out there, maybe more. Beautiful! Who would have guessed that I'd have to come back to France in order to get my snow!
