It Just Keeps Snowing and Snowing and Snowing...

It started the day after Christmas and it seems as though it hasn't stopped since. The snow this season has been plentiful, and we've had significant snow at least twice a week in the past few weeks. We are snow hearty New Englanders, so a little snow isn't going to get us down, but I will admit that I am pretty happy to be looking out the window and seeing the sun shining and the snow no longer actively falling out of the sky.


Today's snow only produced another 6" or so, but because the weather has been so cold over the past few weeks, the prior 2-3'that had already accumulated out there hasn't gone anywhere, so the snow banks are getting outrageous. When I shovel the front steps, I now have to throw the snow into a pile that is over my head, making it just slightly more challenging than usual. However, also because of the cold temps, the snow has been light and fluffy, so that been a bonus.

The picnic table has been most amusing for us to watch. With each passing storm we have been losing sight of the entire table and benches. Then, as the snow packs down a bit we can see bits and pieces of it again for a day or two before more snow comes and covers it up. This morning the kids had a blast playing in their "fort" and pretending to eat a very large mound of mashed potatoes.






As much as we love playing in the snow, it is making us groan a bit that the weather forecast is calling for yet another storm next week. Lexi is not a fan of missing so much school, and we are quite simply running out of places to put the new stuff. This will definitely be a winter that goes down in the history books.
