It Snowed In Louisiana!!!!!

Ugg Boot

I saw the strangest thing in Louisiana last night, snow. I haven't seen it snow here in many years. Of course the ground wasn't cool enough for it to stick, but it's still on cars and on top of tall grass. This is the closest thing to a white Christmas I've ever seen. I wish it would stick. It would be sooooooooo much fun. And to everyone..... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
