They said it was coming, and boy did it ever! The official snow total in D.C. was 17 inches, but I know we got at least 18 or more. It's pretty and it came down hard, but it's been a lot of back breaking work clearing, and reclearing the driveway and sidewalks. We did get plowed so now our cul-de-sac feels a sense of freedom because we can get OUT. Felt sorry for Andy the mailman today, as he has to walk to everyone's mailbox since there is a waist high mound of snow in front of everyone's house. My kids have never seen snow this deep and have had fun playing in it. If this is any indication of our winter this year, it's going to be a doozy! Happy "First official day of winter!"
Can I actually catch a snowflake on my tongue?
Do you see that she is about to be pelted by a snowball from her brother??
By the way, Christmas came early. School is cancelled for the rest of the week due to the snow. The kids have 2 full weeks off for Winter Break now. Ho, ho, ho.
Wonderful photos! You can certainly sense the kids' excitement. Wish we could have been there with you, but we would have had to hike in like Andy the mailman!
