Wonderful pictures. We don’t live in the Dusty or real Frosty Zone. Since we moved to NE TN in 1992, there have only been two real snow storms and they shut everything down for 3 to 5 days. You are lucky to get enough snow from your yard to build a one foot tall snowman the rest of the time.
I grew up in New York, 60 miles south of Montreal, Canada. Hi, Jennie. We would build forts, igloos, snowmen, and have great snow ball fights. When our girls were small, we built a walled rink with a snow slide down into it. We flooded it and iced the walls and slide. It lasted for over a month, even with every kid in the neighborhood there every day.
We lived in Colorado Springs for 3 years and the snow there is different. You get more powder snow, not the nice fluffy, wet stuff. The winters there were nice. You might get two feet of snow one day and in a week it was 75 and the snow gone. The best part was the lack of the dirty, slushy mess you end up with in late winter in the East. In Colorado we were in an arid area. The snow evaporates more than melts, so you don’t get as much of a mess.
I really miss the walks in snowy woods. There is nothing like walking through a quiet wood when all you can hear is the snow coming down. I will say, I don’t miss the 20-30-40 below zero temps.

I loved this post, Stacey. I love the Breaking News and others. I used to do yard art in the snow when I lived in areas where it snowed. I even colored them, too. : )

LOVED this blog Stacey-very funny and cute! We live in SC so, we do not get much snow-maybe once per year (if we are lucky) we will get a few inches and the kids scrape it up and make a small snow man!
