Arctic Blast!


So, today was a snow day...I was supposed to go to work but we got so much snow yesterday and the top layer is ice so it wasn't very safe to drive. Since it doesn't snow very often in the city there are few (if any) snow plows or trucks to put gravel down. So instead of working I got to play with Mitch and Matt in the snow. Here's our family self-portrait.


Even though we broke through the ice layer by just standing on it, Mitch doesn't weigh enough yet; so we were able to lay him down on top of the ice to take some pics! I really wanted to make a snowman but the snow underneath the ice was not good packing snow; no snow angels either!


This picture gives a good idea of what the ice was like (by my feet).

Charlotte had a lot of fun playing in the snow (before the ice formed on top)



Here are just a few shots of what the street and our house looked like. Compare to just a few days earlier with the last posting of the first snow! What a difference!



We tried to put Charlotte's jacket on so she could play again, but with the ice on top she was a little freaked out! At least she looks cute!
