We have finally started getting snow this past week, after a very mild winter. The first two snows in the past week and a half have been of the 1-2 inch variety and very similar to what we got in Maryland--wet and slushy and gone within a few days.
But this weekend we were introduced to a different kind of snow. It wasn't much still, only about 3 inches, and so not what I would say is a real introduction to New England winter. But there was a really important difference--it was COLD out!
The snow was so powdery that there was no way to play in it. No snowballs. No snowmen. Nothing. It would work for sledding if we didn't live in a complex that was completely flat. And if we had a sled. So while Nicholas was happy just walking around in the snow and throwing it up in the air and watching it go everywhere, I got bored pretty quickly. And my chin started to go numb!
Anyway, here are a few pictures:
Stinks when we run out of the fun before they do, doesn't it?! It will happen a bit more for a while, I'm afraid, before we start to get to the really fun stuff! :)
