SNOW [7 pts]

It's 8:30 AM. The sun has finally risen above the horizon and the first snow of the season is gracing the ground. And of course, my kids are out playing in it. Despite the fact the some of our, ahem, more southerly neighbours have had snow for a couple weeks, this is the first we've seen of the white stuff so far. Probably the last we'll see of the sidewalks and grass until May, but we'll enjoy the novelty today.
I love the shining eye excitement of Hannah and Liam quickly bundling up with the prospect of snow angels, teeny tiny snowmen (there's really not enough for anything else yet) and writing messages on my car. New hats, mitts and boots add to the "first day of snow" thrill. (Thank goodness we bought some on the weekend. There probably won't be any left by the end of the day.)

Snow day!

If you look carefully, I have an "I <3 U" on the hood of my car!

Snow tires will be on both the cars by Monday, so we're set for whatever comes our way. Winter weather is finally here, but at least we can have some fun in it!
