We brought the snow with us....

Sorry I have been so bad at posting lately. We just got back from a little over two weeks in the US. We returned to London only to find reports that a huge snow storm was coming. We were happy to be back before the snow storm was forecasted. And yes, for once, the forecast has proven to be pretty true. We woke this morning to about 3 inches and the snow has kept falling all day.

It is the perfect snow for playing as it is light and packable (not to mention it was a balmy 32 degrees Fahrenheit). The boys and I went out in the morning and built a snowman and then Charles came home for an hour in the afternoon so the boys could go sledding. Both boys absolutely loved it. Theo was hilarious because he just walked around in the snow like he owned it! Here are some pictures from it.

Much better than KC's current version of snow which includes a total of 14 or 15 inches by now and 15 degrees Fahrenheit weather. Glad your snow was fun!

We have five inches and bitter cold (7 degrees) complete with a strong wind. There are no signs of snowman construction here. I am glad yours is the kind you play with---ours is just blowing around like sand in a dust storm.

We wish we were there with you to play in the snow. We have about 18 inches on the ground right now, but the temperature is below 0 degrees Farenheit! The wind is blowing and we've been under a blizzard alert because of the strong winds. No one is playing in the snow here today. I love your snowman!
