SNOW DAY 2008

It happened. The largest snowfall in 20 years. Over an inch of snow fell in Metairie and was able to stick on lawns, cars, roofs and more for most of the day. More than two hours of steady snowfall dusted the area on the morning of December 11th, a rare treat that delighted just about everyone. It was sleeting early in the morning but as Lori was driving over to drop Connor off at Lynn's (his sitter) she saw the first flakes fall from the sky. Then the sparse flakes began getting more frequent and heavier. Around 9:30 was the heaviest stuff with big snowflakes falling. And then everything abruptly stopped but the fun was just beginning. All the kids got out in the yard and made a snowman and snow angles.

It's starting to come down now

Connor enjoyed running around in the snowfall

When the snow first started, all the kids went out in it. Well their clothes got all wet and they had to go inside while the clothes were being dried. Connor made a jailbreak to get back into mix.

Who needs pants??

Only real men play in the snow in their diaper

Connor was upset his hat was falling off....

Connor is sad to see this day coming to an end. And possibly has a nap in his future??

The next two pictures are from a friend who decided to make a trip uptown to take some picture of the streetcars.


It was a very memorable day in New Orleans that hopefully won't wait another 20 years to come back. And next time can it happen on a weekend??
