The Second Snowfall







There's a whole lot of white
outside our windows....
and more to come later tonight.

Cannot believe we did not get 
any snow until mid-January!
Unusual for Illinois.










We always leave our lights up 
through the end of the month.
January always brings a lot of snow 
and the lights 
are so welcoming at the front door.

Love how the lights illuminate all of the whiteness!



May have to go outside with the kids tomorrow and make one of these! (Pinterest)

  3. We're getting it here, too (what's left of yours, I guess)!

    The picture of the outdoor lights is so beautiful - and the upside-down snowman is the most clever thing I've seen in a long time!

  5. Beautiful photos. I love the white lights in the snow too. We had snow all day - light and fluffy - leaving about 4 inches. Happy Weekend!

  6. The front of the house looks so pretty with the lights and snow. You have been fortunate not to have had any snow till now.
    Sounds like a fun day planned to make that adorable snowman.

  8. It does look pretty, Alison! We have seen a few snow showers here but nothing major. They are talking about some icy conditions overnight tonight though, which I'm hoping doesn't happen.

  9. You're so lucky! I love snow. All we got was rain today. Your home looks so pretty all lit up at night in the snow. That upside down snowman is adorable. Who would've thought to do that?!

  10. I am loving the snow but it's really not snowman snow. :( However, we froze our appendages off tobogganing! How fun to warm them around a cup of hot cocoa?

  13. You got tons more snow than we did here in central Ohio. But the second storm is bringing us ice right now. Nothing worse than ice and Scott's is in town this weekend. Hope it isn't too bad in the morning.

  17. Looks like winter. It was 80 here today. I'm not wishing for snow, but cooler temps would be nice. Love the snowman on his head. Cute! ~ Sarah

  21. We have the ice down here, Alison. Ugh! I love the lights and the snow. I leave two potted evergreens lit on my porch. I like to see the glow from them :)

  22. Yep, what a gorgeous snow it is, too! Couldn't resist a long walk with the pooch yesterday through all the fluffy whiteness.

  23. Isn't it beautiful? So happy to have a bit of snow around. Our lights are down, but the door wreaths are still up. Liz

  24. Northern Illinois = snow
    Southern Illinois = ice

    Had trouble getting out to the car last night!

  25. Your home looks wonderful with the lights and snow. No snow here, just rain and tornado watches. whoopee!
    We don't get much snow in GA, but do get ice storms in Jan. Thankfully, none so far...only tornado watches because of the warm weather the last few days.
    Have fun playing in the snow. :)
