Snow Day, January '09

Today is our first snow day for the year. Last night we got a glaze of ice that closed down school for today. At 3 am, the sleet started in full force. It was a classic ice storm, lightning and thunder included! It has sleeted or snowed off and on all day today, covering the ground with white. Our friend Allix called it snow sand because it was just like sand, only cold! We went out to play in it and it wasn't as fun as a good sticky snow. Still, it was fun to play out in the cold. The first one is Anna's snow angel. It might be hard to see.
