This winter has easily given us Mississippi folks the most snow I've ever seen in my entire life. This includes two major snows, both with 6-8" of snow! It's been pretty major. Of course, given that we don't get a lot of snow and given that a lot of our snow is less powder and more ice, the snow has lost its magical effect on most everyone down here. I certainly look forward to the spring like everyone else. I look forward to getting the kids out of the house and onto some swings at the park. I look forward to the kiddie pool in the summer and using the screened in porch more.
But for the next several weeks, it's still winter. And yesterday was a not so subtle reminder of that. The snow started around 11:30am and kept going past 9pm. I opened the curtains on the big window in the living room and the kids kept crawling up to the ledge and staring out at the snow in complete amazement. So I felt I had no choice but to bundle them up and let them enjoy this rare occasion.
Oh what fun it is...
