This month has really been a pretty mild one. Temperatures have been consistently high for this time of year. We did manage to get one good snow storm as of current. It hit us a couple of weeks ago. It literally snowed for over 24 hours straight. Much of the valley got well over 6 inches, but some parts got even more. It was a very wet and dense snow, which made it very difficult to shovel. However, this is the BEST snow for snowman making. I'm really a poor sport when it comes to this wet, white stuff. I'm not a big fan of winter or the snow so I encouraged the kids to make a snowman alone. It was a bust. Neither of the kids could get a snowball started well enough to begin rolling it into larger balls for a snowman. They sure did enjoy playing in it though. We quickly learned that they had both outgrown their winter gear so we had to head out afterward and find some attire suitable for them now. TALK ABOUT EXPENSIVE! I was SO not happy about how much $$$ we had to drop on new snow gear. Lets hope they can get some good use out of it. Last winter was pretty mild with very little snow... I'm hoping that we at least have a white winter. I will be content with that much snow.
