Snow Day!!

Within a few hours of the first snowflakes, there was a good accumulation on the ground. With the temperature below freezing, there was the danger of ice on the road, so schools closed early on Monday, Feb 2nd.
(That can't be a good sign for Spring -- snow on Groundhog Day)! :(



This is what our yard looked like when we got home at 12:30 on Monday...

Luke immediately jumped out of the car so he could throw a snowball...

One cool dude!

Trying to eat the snow ....

The deck ... as you can see, there's a good 2 inches there...

School was closed on Tuesday and again on Wednesday ...

Greg trying to build a snowman ... However, Luke had no interest in helping ....

His only interest was in eating the snow....

After we all froze our patooties off, we came in and got hot cocoa with marshmallows!

Yummy.

And this is the sunset on Tuesday evening... It was prettier in person with all the pinks and purples in the sky.
