Was there ever a time when the snow wasn't falling? I can't remember. Can't conceive that I ever wore shorts or felt too hot. It seems as though the snow has been falling for days. But it just keeps on falling, slowly burying us under a thick carpet of white. If you stand in the house, looking out into the transformed world, it can be a little claustrophobic, as though we've been transported to the set of Little House on the Prairie.
But when you're given not one, but two snow days to enjoy the white stuff, the snow takes on a different meaning.
Instead of being something to endure, something to bundle up against while we run for the bus, something that makes us slip, and fall, and get wet and need to bundle up in a different set of clothes, it becomes pure fun.
With two bonus days free of schedules, homework, pick ups and drop offs, we frolicked in the snow. And then we frolicked some more.
Some of us made mountains so others could climb them.
Some of us hid behind a huge, towering forts.
And one of us simply sat in the powdery expanse, a little spot of pink in an infinite sea of white.

Has your dryer been working overtime trying to keep all that snow gear dry? :)
you really reminds me of my childhood here in Norway.
Every Fall we said:
Please let it snow.
We allways had fun and played in the Snow.

How fun! Tomorrow is day 3 of being snowed in for us!
It looks fun... I say, 3000 miles away where there is no snow. Snow seems to be the, not so hot, topic these days.
We're in the same boat. Thankfully the kids already had scheduled days off school for parent conferences so it won't affect our school year. We have gotten so much snow in the last 4 days that even businesses are closed or not opening until noon today.
just got my book in the mail ...thanks !!!
I have to admit, I tolerate February much better when we have snow. Probably because I used to ski. Now I have fun romping with our dog in the snow! He loves it.
Great snow pictures. After all the snow we've had, I am looking forward to warm weather!
