Last night it started to rain and the temperatures plummeted through the night, encasing the ground in ice and a little bit of snow. Seeing as the area is not highly equipped to handle such events (they do sand the major highways), we all stayed home. It was nice to just hang out together. Daron got some work done and did get a couple hours in at the office later in the afternoon, though it took him a good 30 minutes to chip the ice off his windshield!
Here are some pictures I took of our street from the window. (Yeah, the windchill was making it about 3 F outside so I wasn't about to give up my nice cozy house.) This was mid-afternoon and it hadn't started to melt yet - the temperatures were simply continuing to fall.
Now this is real winter!!

Glad you got some good shots of that. I never did pull out my camera, but wow, definitely not the norm here in TX! Well, unless you consider the crazy/bi-polar-ness of it all.
Yikes! Looks like a great excuse to snuggle under a blanket with some hot cocoa and a good book. Just don't make me hang off the couch to read it! Hope you all are thawing out--take care.
