My kids have had 2 snow days off school in the last 2 weeks. Today is one of them. It has been for the sleet and ice as much as the snow itself. N. has been loving playing with his big sisters; building igloos and other snow forts.
Once a few years ago during an ice and snow storm we lost almost a whole side of one of our tall, tall pines. The cracking sound of the breaking branches was so loud!! I will never forget that sound. Many kinds of pines will grow new branches. Our White Pines are not that variety. They are gone forever once they break off. Now, when the other surrounding trees are free of leaves the scars of the missing pine branches are a reminder of that bad storm. Luckily we didn't lose any branches this time.
Beautiful pictures! We haven't had "real" snow in so long that my kids went nuts over a few flurries we had last week. No snow day.

ReplyDeleteI won't say you're lucky to have all of that snow because I lived in snow country until I was nine and know what a pain it can be. But, it sure is pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are still getting lots of snow. It is picturesque! And how fun were snow days as a kid?????
ReplyDeleteOh I so need a snow day. I miss the snow so much. I would give up my 72 degree weather for snow anyday.
