I woke around 6:15 AM. All was calm. Suddenly I heard a loud 'WHUMP" outside. It was warm in bed, the wife was asleep. I did not want to investigate.
A few minutes later I heard another "WHUMP". This time, it seemed to come from the front of the house.
What was it? Someone slamming a car door? Nah. We can't hear the neighbors.
"WHUMP"
I got out of bed and looked outside.
SNOW!
There was just a few inches. It was warming up outside. The WHUMP noise was the snow sliding off the metal roof onto the ground.

There were school delays and closing nearby!
As I came home from work, it was still raining. There was a little snow mixed in.
The creek came up some. It is running dirty brown. It is cold and angry.

Just think - we were in the 80's last week. This is why we don't plant our garden until Memorial Day around here.

Hi there! I have been so delinquent in posting to my own blog, let alone reading others I love like yours, so I am catching up now. That "Whump, there it is" sound hit us, too. 4" of slushy, heavy, wet MADNESS that kept me up because I swore large animals were barreling down our walls it sounded so odd... as the snow fell off the bushes against the house. Check my blog to see the willow tree it pulled down - ARGH. I'm going to go read your past 3 months' of posts now and am sure you have some amazing pictures.
I saw the post on the willow. What a shame. They are pretty trees, but the wood is very soft. So glad to see you back in the Blogosphere!
