Snow Day!

Not a ton of snow, but enough to close the schools & some businesses
for the day (Fortunately, Cole only has school 3 days a week & today was an off day anyway,
so we're so glad he still got to go yesterday because he loves school).
 Actually, it snowed on & off quite a bit yesterday, then started to melt,
& then froze over again during the night, which then causes the roads to ice over,
thus causing the major problem & reason for closures.
Its the ice around here that's the usual trouble maker, not the snow, since it
usually doesn't get that deep or snow often.

So Jace has stayed home for the 1st part of the day to be safe
& then gone in to the office now that things are melting.
However, the next couple of nights will yield below zero
temps like -4 deg. with wind chill factors weighing in at -15 deg.
We're just getting the edge of the major snow storms that the
other surrounding states are experiencing.


Cole's so excited to go out & play in the snow with Daddy!

"Popsicle icicles" off the truck.

A fun new way to jump!

 Aha! Swords!

The beginnings of a snowman.
The snow was still to powdery to compact
into balls. A little later on, and it'll be perfect.

Long icicles like that always intrigue & amaze
me since I didn't grow up living around snow.
Fun to see.
