December 19 the snow started, nice and easy.
The forest was so pretty with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
We went to bed and woke up to about 15 inches of snow!
That is the most we have ever got in one dump.
It was sooo pretty. Also it was soooo cold.
Yes, the trampoline would eventually break.
Jim shoveled the driveway and dumped it all into a heaping mound that Evan would eventually convert to an awesome fort.
We rallied the gang and headed to the forest.
Koda and Dobby made first tracks for us. It was a slog to walk through!
The way the snow builds on all the branches is incredible! It's just a fantastic wonderland.
They would gather under a branch, then shake the branch, then get covered in snow.
Then repeat.
It was so fun to play in...until the ice rain came along.
It rained ice all night, and the next morning everything was covered in a crusty, frozen layer.
It was so neat to look at, but not fun to play in or drive in or walk in.
Then out of nowhere the temperatures went sky high (to 50 degrees from "-5") and became so balmy out there!
15 feet of snow has been completely wiped off the land and is now making for floods in some places. It's crazy and also perfect timing. We loved our White Christmas.
