OK, it was fun for a while. Beautiful, really.

But we haven’t seen the ground in weeks and the snow just keeps coming.

It’s kind of funny actually. This is our first winter in about a dozen years – we just moved back up from the Sunshine State.

We were all excited about experiencing winter again after so long in Florida’s sub-tropical climate. Our youngest son had never seen snow and he couldn’t wait! We could go sledding and skiing and have snowball fights and build a snowman. We fantasized about cold winter evenings spent snuggled up on the couch in a big blanket with a hot mug of cocoa. Anything to break the monotony of perpetual sunshine and humidity (I know it sounds weird, but you really do get tired of it being so sunny – and HOT).

We got exactly what we wished for. We moved in on a Wednesday and it started snowing that Friday! And it really hasn’t stopped for more than 24 hours at a time since.

Truth be told, we love it! But we are beginning to wonder if we haven’t stumbled into the next ice age!
