It has been a pretty mellow winter with not much snow, but that changed this last week. This is the before pictures.
This is an after picture, though it doesn't show, of course, the ice under the snow. The storm was last Thursday; we had sleet for hours and hours, followed by snow for hours and hours. The end result was a lovely layer of ice underneath 7 or 8 inches of snow. The kids were enthralled.
The kittens thought it very interesting as well! What is that white stuff??
Kevin made snow ice cream three nights running. You mix snow and condensed milk and vanilla and voila! In this particular case, Kevin also added blue food coloring.
The kids loved that!
So yes, all very exciting! We didn't lose power so we just enjoyed it. Kevin, of course, ended up having to plow our driveway and that was rather fatiguing but it made great snow piles for the kids.
Naomi and Lydia both got last Thursday and Friday off, which made us happy. It was NOT safe out there.
There is still plenty of snow but now the plows have gotten the roads clear.
That is probably our last (and first) big snow of winter, but we will see!
