Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
There is nothing more magical than watching snow blanket the world in white. Sledding, snowballs and snowmen, followed by chilly fingers, hot cocoa, and snow gear tossed in the dryer, warming up for the next round of outdoor fun, are favorite childhood memories. Unfortunately the last decent snow we had was about six years ago, SA doesn’t even really know what playing out in the snow is like, and how I miss seeing the children out discovering the white, wintry world.
This year I had high hopes on the snow front. Below average temperatures, with lost of potential precipitation, but nothing much ever came of it. All hope is not lost, there is still time! The biggest snowfall in my lifetime, the Blizzard of 1980, happened on March 1st. What a fabulous time we had sledding and building forts, I will never forget it!
As a form of weather protest, I’ve added snow to the blog, which will only be removed after the first multi-inch snowfall, or the vernal equinox, whichever comes first.
So in the absence of a blizzard, here are a few pictures of us making the best of the little snow we’ve gotten so far.
