More SNOW

Not one flake of snow before Christmas. Well, maybe one flake....or two....but nothing that even came close to sticking on the ground. Everyone was talking about how dry of a winter it was going to be, and how we may have a record year for the least amount of snowfall.

It is again another reminder of what predictions really are. Just GUESSES.

And boy were they WRONG.

I'm okay with wrong every now and then. This would be one of those times!

Day #1 - So beautiful


Day #2 - We've heard that our area got 17 inches. The boys took a ruler out to measure in the spot that had the least amount of snow in the entire backyard. It is just under 12 inches there (you can see the top of the yellow ruler if you look closely), so I am thinking 17 is about right when you factor in the drifts.

I love the first footprints and tracks in the snow!

This would have provided hours of endless fun had it not been 5 degrees outside.

He got so cold he wanted his entire face covered. I very calmly reminded him that if he would STOP EATING THE SNOW, his chin would not be so stinkin' cold!

I am happy to report that I did not lose any children in the snow drifts this time around. One out of two isn't bad, don't ya think?
