My daughters got their first taste of snow for this winter over the weekend. When they went to bed Wednesday night, it was snowing, and they could only just contain their excitement. They were so disappointed when they woke up on Thanksgiving morning to find that none of the snow had accumulated.
On Friday, we drove up to New York to my parents' house. They've been getting regular bouts of lake-effect snow, and when we arrived, there was plenty of snow for the girls to play in. Unfortunately, it was late when we arrived, and the girls had to wait until Saturday morning, when they dragged me out to the hill behind my parents house. My parents keep two plastic sleds for the girls to use, and they took full advantage:
After lunch, they convinced my father to go outside with them, and he found himself involved in a snowball fight against the two girls. I'm not sure how much fun he had, but the girls enjoyed themselves.
For my antipodean friends who are enjoying the early days of summer, here's what my parents' house looked like on Saturday:
Of course, the weather is supposed to warm up this week, and most of that snow is forecast to melt. Its still early winter, and they'll probably have more snow than this by the time we get back up there at Christmas time.
