You readers up North will have to forgive our general reaction to snow. Yes, it’s pathetic that we don’t know how to drive in it. I had to turn around on my way to work in the midst of a flurry, because even if I was able to keep my car on the road, I wasn’t too sure that other people could. Plus, nobody knows what to do about icy bridges ’round here. Except skid off of them.

As for a snowman, this here is as about as close as we come. It has leaves and sticks poking out of it because there was only a half-inch of snow on the ground, and this is what it looks like when you start rolling it up. And there was the snow angel Girl made, which looked a lot like a mud puddle.

Still, this was the whitest (almost) Christmas we’ve had in quite a while. It’ll be another four years til we see another one.
