Yes, it's true. We actually got 18 inches of snow! The kids didn't know what to do with themselves. They were so excited. They played in the middle of the storm when it was coming down hard and the next day when it was a beautiful, sunny day (but still very cold). And in case you are wondering, Katherine IS STANDING in the snow here. She was determined to walk through the deep snow with her brother and sister. She did decent considering her size. I did hear her say "I sinking Mom" and "I stuck Mom" many times. Yes, I did rescue her after taking the picture :)
This is just a random picture of the cars in our parking lot. I thought it showed how deep the snow was. It was a lot of fun. 
This was in the middle of the storm (notice the streaks in the picture from the snow falling so quickly). We only had between 6 and 8 inches at the time, but the kids could not wait to get in it...we are from Tennessee you know...when it snows there, it will typically be gone in a few hours. I can tell you how excited they were when they woke up and there was still snow on the ground.
This is also in the middle of the storm. I liked the crinkle nose and all the snow sticking to her. It was very cold. It was so cold that when we came in, Jonathan was helping to get the kids out of their wet frozen clothes (literally) and he went to untie Benjamin's shoelace when the lace broke in half. I have never seen that one before. Our dryer has had quite the workout the past few days :)
This was the view from our apartment when we woke up the next morning. The kids were amazed that "God had made it rain sparkles" It was beautiful and it really did look like sparkles... there was a slight breeze and it was blowing some of the loose snow from the roof down to the ground and it just sparkled.
The kids dug a tunnel and even started making an igloo. Maybe they will get to finish later if the snow sticks around.
We wanted to put a picture of everyone in, but Lauren had a fever and didn't get to play. Good thing she's still little and didn't know any different. Regardless, here's three of us when we went on a walk.
I can now say that I have truly been sledding. In Tennessee, we mostly sled on ice or a thin layer of snow down a slight hill....but THIS was quite the hill. I even went down four times with Katherine. This picture is of Regan going down (she's at the very top) and Benjamin was a little machine...up then back down, back up, back down, constant with no breaks.
Here he goes!
I thought it would be appropriate to end with of picture of the sheer exhaustion. They have had so much fun, but have completely worn themselves out in the process!
