First Snow 2012 (as reported from the other side of West Des Moines)
It may have spit a few flakes a couple of other days, but this is the first measurable snowfall this season. The Underwoods live on the SW corner of West Des Moines and we live on the NE corner...looks like they may have gotten another inch or so more than we did.
Our tape measure says around 7 inches.
I think the driveway may have been a little deeper due to the drifting...and after one pass with the snow blower I think Adam would have agreed.
The first few hours of "snow" it was still above freezing so it came down very wet and heavy. There was a lot of tree damage at our house and on our street. My favorite lilac tree has been hard hit almost every time that there has been a bad storm over the past few years, and it wasn't spared this time either.
Boo hoo, a few of the larger limbs are split. A dead limb that was in the apple tree was also selectively removed. My snowball tree was bent in half, but those branches are pretty limber so it might come out ok.
Through it all however, we know this is Winter in IOWA...so we keep smiling...
and we make "the BEST of IT!"

Oh my, what a happy kid...!!Nothing like snow to make smiles on little faces. The lilac tree should probably come down...it can always be replaced...it's very old, you know. It might even be nice to have an open space for awhile.
So glad you can post a blog and tell your family's stories!!!
So much fun. Is this the first real snoe for Landon? I think so. Amy
