Snow 2008 Continues (That's right!)

It was blowing, angling sideways, drifting and snowing ALL DAY. Longtimers say they've rarely seen a storm like this here, and it's not over.

We took full advantage of it when we still could this morning. Claire trudged across the street, pounded on Jack and Lilly's door and dragged the whole family out in the snow.



Heidi and Barry got out the discs and sleds that they brought with them from Colorado. Fifth Street became our wonderland.

Jack took his dad's old-fashioned sled for a ride and met our car. Claire, as usual, wanted to try, too.



Later, Jack took the girls for a ride.





Eventually, we made our way to F Street and one of the neighborhood's steepest hills.




Jack leaped onto his sled time and again. Claire warmed up to her first sledding experience by scooting down on her bum. Later, she decided she'd run down the hill and hop rides back up.




As I write this, we've got 8-10 inches of snow on the ground outside. TV says it's turning to freezing rain. Not good. I'll get this posted before the power goes out.
