Sometimes Snow is Fun

For the last two weeks, it's been cold and it's been snowy. I'm really getting tired of the snow. When you get that first big snow, its pretty, it's fluffy, and you even kind of enjoy shoveling. Then when the weather turns colder and it continues to snow day after day, it's not so much of a novelty. When it gets even colder, you are begging for spring to begin. But, that first big snow, it's great. That's when snow is fun. So about 12 days ago, we got our first big snow, when I say big, I mean more than 2 inches. That day, we got around 8 or so inches and Maddie was dying to go sledding. So, we bundled up and out we went. We have a pretty good hill right behind the house. It's great because we don't have to drive. After we had been out awhile, Syd and Nick came out to join us. That didn't last very long but, Syd did go down the hill a couple of times. Nick didn't go at all. You see, the hill behind our house used to be bigger and then the borough leveled it down some and it's not as fun for Sydney and Nick. But, for Maddie, it will be a great hill for a couple more years.

Sydney heads down the hill and at the end, she isn't very thrilled over how short the ride was.

I think Syd is seeing if the snow was turning to rain, which it was, and then it turned to ice, and back to snow. It was quite the day for weathermen.
