We Got Snow!

I was giving up hope that we would see a good, solid snow storm this winter (this part of Virginia almost never does...).  We got a little here and there, but it was mostly just a mix of ice and rain.  I wanted SNOW!  Thank goodness we got some!  It was so fun to watch it fall and get deeper and deeper.  It made this cold winter worth it.  For now anyway.

^This shows how deep the snow was, and it still wasn't finished!

We took a walk up to Andrew's parent's house, since driving was out of the question, to help shovel their driveway.  BV isn't all that great when it comes to snow preparedness... The roads also had a thick layer of ice underneath the snow.  All sorts of craziness going on with this storm!

^This little miss hadn't seen this much snow.  All she knew was that it was really cold outside.


While we were walking the 5 or 6 blocks to Andrew's parent's we passed several people that were out shoveling like we were.  One guy stopped to talk to us and he was so funny.  He loved Jane and thought she was so cute and he commented how it's good that we have her out in the crazy weather.  
"My generation would say 'Don't take them outside! They can get sick and die!'"
So he was applauding us for taking our child out into the freezing cold snow storm :)
Jane is healthy as a horse, and we had her bundled up pretty good, so we weren't too worried about her.  And it's not like we were walking 10 miles or anything.

So that was our fun snow day.  Most of the snow has melted, thanks to this warm weather we're having now.  I'm glad we got the snow, it's what I've been waiting for since Christmas... but now it's time for spring.  Please.
