The Latest Snow

After the cold snap in early January, the temperatures went up to way ABOVE normal for a couple of weeks. It rained, the pond levels rose, and we started to wonder if we had seen the end of winter. But then it came through again last weekend, and we got about 5 inches of snow overnight on a Friday night. It was snowing when Abby and I went to play practice, and REALLY snowing when we headed home (we are thankful for Dan's 4-wheel drive Blazer!). We woke up to a beautiful covering of snow, but the roads were plowed by the time we headed out to play practice again, and then the sun came out while we were inside, allowing Dan to take these beautiful pictures.
As I write this, it has almost all melted, but it is snowing again, though no accumulation is expected... but I have more pictures to post of our snow adventures last week -- another post.


The kids and Dan created this giant snowman after a day of sunshine made the snow perfect!
