It's the first snow storm in PA this year and our first time to witness what's it like. Although it's our fourth time to see real snow the previous ones didn't last that long and not quite as heavy (comparing 1 inch or so of snowfall with today's 10.5 inches). It was really fascinating to watch the snow on the ground grow thicker by the hour. Everything the snow touches was soon blanketed in white. And the way light is reflected by the snow just makes the surrounding "lit up" a bit. Now I know what a former classmate meant when she said that snow gives her a better mood than when it is raining. She's right it's not dark, wet and gloomy. Fresh snow is like fluffy bits of clouds falling to the ground.
It would have been better if we did actually enjoy the snow. But it was too cold outside and as typical parents we're a little concerned that the kids might get sick. Maybe tomorrow when the storm is over.
That's my Mr. Man attempting to brave out the cold in his shorts.I guess he was just more eager than I was of having his picture taken in the snow. He even dared us that he'll pose outside without his shirt on ....Yeah, right....
