Show me the SNOW!

Winter is back; not that it really went away. But with Winter Storm Carson, the Northeast got a reminder of what this season is capable of. Overall, we got about 22 inches, which for our neck of the woods wasn't too bad. At least it was light. I couldn't imagine shovelling this mass if it were wet and slushy.

My daughter and I found some time to venture out for a late Sunday stroll in the drift:

and made her way to the mounds



and I watched.



As I relax with a cup of hot chocolate, I think back to when I would dig out the plowed mounds to create a snow fort of decent quality. I'd hang out for as long as I could, playing out the "Luke gets trapped in the Wampa cave" part from 'The Empire Strikes Back' and shit like that. It's time I figured out that when you get this much snow these days, you have to play in it a bit.

Brrrrrrrrrr!
