Friday night we finally got some snow on the ground here. We were hoping for the 3-5 inches that were predicted, but a lot of the precipitation ended up as sleet and so we ended up with about 3 inches. But it was enough to play in, which made the kids happy. We are two thirds of the way through January, and there hasn't been any measurable snow until now, so the kids went outside both yesterday and today. Yesterday they played with Mason and Lindsey, and Ben went out with them today and helped Maria and Sam build this snowman. The snow is perfect for packing today, but these above freezing temperatures mean a short life for the snowman. Most adults like a mild winter (except teachers, maybe) but the kids have been very disappointed with the lack of snow this year - especially after the last few winters have been pretty harsh. So we are hoping this is the beginning of some more winter weather, although a weekday storm would be preferable to this weekend one!
