The snow started late Monday night and lasted well into Tuesday morning totaling about 4-5 inches. Then came 1.5 inches of ice and finally 3 more inches of snow by Wednesday late morning. Unfortunately, we normally don't get more than an inch or two of snow at a time, so our area isn't well equipped for clearing roads etc. Needless to say, we have had a few snow days (Tuesday - Friday)!
Walking in the snow was odd, as you thought that you would sink down quite far, but with the layer of ice in between it really felt as though you were walking on a frozen pond. You could hear the ice crack with every step! It finally warmed up to the 20's today and Matthew and I took advantage of it. The snow was too fine to make a snowman, but little snow balls stuck together. We had a snow ball "fight" and made snow angels.
We had several icicles hanging from the house and shed that were 2 feet long. I held Matthew up so he could pick them off. Then we wrote with the icicles in the snow. Matthew will tell you that he loved the icicles the best!
Meanwhile, Chris and Kaelyn played indoors. Kaelyn is now sitting quite well on her own, a few tumbles here and there. She was so happy today and her smiles are contagious! They were having as good a time indoors as Matthew and I were outdoors!
