It was too windy to enjoy being out as the snow was falling, but after it stopped we had some work to do and then could play. The kids were in the yard this afternoon sledding and building snow tunnels. Even Thomas got in the game with socks and a plastic bag covering his casted leg so he could wallow in the snow as he usually does.
This snow won't melt until spring, so we'll have great snow for winter play for quite a while.

| Steven measures snowfall on the garden beds with a yard stick. And, yes! He's vertical after being couch-bound for a week with back problems! He did go flat on his back for awhile after his little adventure, but he's much better. |

| We ended the day with syrup poured over freshly fallen snow. The very first snow cone. |
