Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.

Ah, so true.
We have had some snow this January. Many of the big storms have missed us or we could have had more. We've had 2-ish feet of snow at different times in the middle of the yard (or just past my knees) but the piles near the road and driveway have been 4 and 5 ft plus. Wow, eh?
Here's a fact. We do not own a snow blower There are 2 or 3 other people on our street that don't either but we nonsnowblowerowners are definitely in the minority up here. Here's another fact. I enjoy shoveling snow. For the most part anyway. I like to get out in the crisp, cold air and make our driveway clean. Lately though, I've had to get creative in where I dump the snow. It is VERY difficult to lift a shovel full of snow higher than your head. Luckily, we've had snowblowingowner neighbors that have helped us out this winter on occasion. A blessing. Especially upon returning home after being gone for 2 days and not being able to get close to the driveway. And when I had 3 sick kids and just couldn't get out of the house. Oh wait, that was just 3 days ago.
3 sick kids.
Is there anything as horrible as that? Wait, I've got one. What about 1 really super duper sick baby and 2 girls that are better enough to start arguing and fighting allllll the time? This past week (and the week I have ahead of me) are not really days to remember if you catch my meaning. But a couple weeks ago playing in the snow? Those were days to remember.
I didn't have any boots for Luke so he had about 8 pairs of socks on and since the pink snow pants were a little long, his feet stayed warm and toasty. He wasn't so sure of the snow at first. But then tolerated it.
These pictures (below) are from a visit out to my sister's house for nephew Cameron's bday. It was sooooo cold that day. But as the troopers we were, we braved the cold to sled with cousins.

| Poor kid could barely move through all his layers. He pretty much just stayed wherever he was put. But he tried. |
