Winter blast 2008...again

The weather here has been, well, not so good. The weather just to the south of us has been much worse. Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati, all of these cities were hit with some serious nasty last night. Some of which they said was coming our way, but did not. This is the second time in the last two months that the weather man has been way wrong. A few weeks ago we were told we were going to get a winter blast of 7 to 12 inches. The next morning we woke up to less then 1 inch and a few thousand upset children. Then again last night they said to expect 3 to 7 inches, and again this morning we got les then an inch. But that is not to say that the “storm” was not worth watching. The snow that did fall was the coolest snow I have ever seen. Perfect little individual flakes that were really thick. I put a peace of paper out and collected some on top of it just to get a closer look. The snow did not stick to itself at all, and it looker remarkable like the confetti that comes in cake icing mixes by Betty Crocker, alot like number 8 here on this web page. You could literally pick up individual flakes and look at the details for about 10 seconds, before they started to melt. Very cool
