SNOW?!?!?

Here's Bri's Mardi Gras snowman! Yes, it's snowed...crazy. I was just reminiscing last night how much I miss snow, and we woke up to a wonderland! Yes, everyone freaked out...the last time it snowed was the winter before Katrina, and before that --like in 1985. The schools closed, the power went out, street lights went out...it was crazy. As our landlord said, when we asked why the power went out, "Because New Orleans is held together with rubber bands!"
That's our place! It was cool to see Hispanics and Somalians on the street, freaking out and getting pictures...everyone seeing their first snow.

Palm trees and snow??? Well, it was in the 30's today, but will be up to 70 by Sunday...oh New Orleans...!
