So, it's no news flash that it snowed in Mississippi. Vicksburg, however, seemed to take the cake with its reported six inches of accumulation.
We tried to get our own "official" measurements...
It was definitely a sight to be seen...as were we in our early morning snow outfits...
We had our own little Winter Wonderland on our end of National Street...
We had lots of photo ops, including the debut of Olivia's new rain boots (a birthday gift from Lauchlin)...
And, then, just random poses on the blanket of white...
Olivia started to make a snowman, but this is all that was left after she rolled his body down the hill...
And, because a snow that sticks is such a rare occurrence in this great state, we thought we'd look back on some past Mississippi snows...
Early 1980s...
Olivia and her brother experienced a good North Mississippi snow sometime before her memory began to form.
Circa 1985...
Lauchlin donned a far from typical snow suit around the time the last heaping snowfall hit Central Mississippi...
Apparently, it was even enough to bring out the sleds (we're not quite sure why these were just hanging around in Clinton)...
Circa 2000...
Our last snow day dates back to our early college days at Ole Miss, where we spent the day frolicking in the snow-covered countryside...
Who knows how long it will be until we see this again! It was fun while it lasted...
