The Season's First Real Snow

A long weekend off, and it's not even COVID-related. Monday was the MLK holiday, of course, and the kids have today and tomorrow off for teacher work-days. As luck would have it, the break coincided with the first significant snowfall of the season.

The snow started Sunday evening, and it was deep enough by Monday morning to shovel the driveway. As unluck would have it, I scheduled Edith's annual check-up on Monday morning, and we had to leave by 9:45. But she was soon playing outside in the snow, and our front yard has quite the little hill that they and Paul worked hard on this afternoon. (I, as usual, stayed inside where it was toasty warm.)

No doubt they'll be out again today, and hopefully the roads will be a bit better since we have to drive to an appointment with the dentist! I wonder if yesterday would have been a snow day had it been a regular school day. Either way, hot chocolate was had by all.
