A little bit of snow

Last weekend, we had some snow fall. Enough to make a nice snowman! It was tremendous fun, though a little slushy near the end.

I knit a pair of mittens for Amedeo at the beginning of winter. The hassle has always been how to keep the darn things on him. I discovered that tape helps a bunch.


And then...we got a wee bit more snow.

Our cats are NOT pleased. You can see that Zenzero (the far cat) is covering the heating grate with his whole body.

Unlike our cats, who hate the snow, I love it. Pietro loves it. Fortunately, Amedeo loves it too!
This was when it was still snowing on Saturday morning. There was only 25" on the ground then.
It was a good thing that Pietro left the shovel on the porch since we couldn't even get to the garage to start making a path.


Here is after the snow stopped falling...we wound up with about 28" in our yard. Amedeo is examining the structural integrity of the snow walls.



Here is a mountain of snow that's at the end of our driveway. We aren't totally shoveled out yet. The plow hasn't come through, so there isn't much point in doing the last section.

Here is a picture from early this morning. Beautiful blue skies and calm winds. It was totally silent. That's one thing I really like about the snow. I don't hear the car noises. Everyone was stuck! We hope everyone is having fun playing in the snow....Pietro and Amedeo can't stay out of it!
