Wow...the second giant snow of the season (the first of 2010) happened this past weekend, February 5-6. Yikes! Snow totals were up to 3 feet in Maryland. We had a lot of snow drifts so it was difficult to get an accurate measurement but our best guess was about 28 inches in our yard.
It wasn't as much fun to play in at first as the girls could barely walk and could definitely not sled in it. And, it didn't stick well enough to make a snow family. Snow angels were out as I think we'd actually lose a kid if they laid down. Jacob couldn't have had more fun though. Chris had cleared off the driveway and, before Jacob went out, about 4-5 more inches fell so it was a perfect depth for him to play in.
The next day Chris was able to make a nice packed run in the yard for sledding. The sled went super fast over the "moguls". The biggest problem was walking back up the hill. Emma required considerable help and Jacob needed to be carried. It was fun, but exhausting.
