For the first time in 10 years we had snow fall and stick! For the first time in 20 years, it was 5 inches!! It was wonderful! The Girls enjoyed playing in it both last night and this morning. We took tons of pictures, so many that the camera broke(either that or Oliver got it wet; he's not telling).
It started falling last night at 6 and kept falling 'til about four this morning. When we woke up, it was like being in a completely different place!! It was magical! This was the first time Oliver had ever seen snow. He and the girls started right away making a snowman. He was so excited until he realized how cold it was! The girls spent several hours outside this morning playing in it before it started to melt. Even Our Oso enjoyed eating it!
Around noon it began to "snow" again; actually it was the snow melting off the trees. As I came home from work tonight, there was still snow in some places; places the sun hadn't touched long enough to melt. I think it was perfect. With horrible blizzards in other parts of the country, I think just a night and morning of magic is enough...
In case you're curious about my children's lack of winter clothing...it really wasn't that cold outside, that's why it melted by noon...
