Ice and snow

It was still rain at about 8:30pm last night. Somehow we managed to get 9 inches of snow last night! Jacob didn't have to go to work today as a result, so instead he and Gavin made the most of the snow this morning.

Who doesn't love eating snow?
meltdown: because he hates wearing gloves
The snow was too powdery for a vertical snowperson, so here's the
3D horizontal one Jacob and Gavin made instead. 

After so much cold, Gavin was eager for his hot chocolate. 
 Less than 2 weeks ago we had a huge ice storm. Here are some photos of that event. Not quite as fun to play in...
same swing--and this morning I measured 6.5" of snow on top (even the longest icicle doesn't compare to that)

(Posting the snow pictures made me think of some posts from last winter: here and here.)

Wow, so fun that Jacob got the day off! I seriously love the horizontal snow person, and the glove meltdown. Great pics! Keep 'em coming. :)

Love the snow pics of Gavin & not Gavin. I admit it looks a lot prettier with the snow, than the ice.
