Heh .. I saw that on the news this morning. Craziness. I don't think in the 15 years that my in-laws lived there, I ever saw snow in NOLA.

wow... must have been a shock! I'm used to snow here in Canada...

Traffic is bad during snowfalls here, I can just imagine in New Orleans... safe driving, and enjoy that snow

It was great! Even better was that all the schools closed around us and DH didn't have to work. We played in the snow for about an hour before it all melted. Came inside, drank hot chocolate and made a fire.

In the entire time that I've lived in LA, I've never used a fireplace until this morning.

I lived in New Orleans for 6 years before moving up here to Virginia and I never saw it drop one snowflake there the entire time I was there!

I bet Bourbon Street was beautiful with a light dusting of snow!

I'm happy you enjoyed the snow - and your family wasn't affected too badly

We've got a storm warning here in Calgary for 6 inches of snow... we had 6 inches on Sunday... lol

We're used to that stuff though.
