Snow Day Fun

Northern Indiana had a bit of a snowfall event over the weekend - chiefly on Sunday, where it snowed pretty much non-stop.  Official record keeping from the National Weather Service had our county getting about 16 inches of snow.  Said amount matched perfectly with my guesstimate of what I cleared off the driveway - 6 inches two different times on Sunday, and 4 inches again on Monday morning.

In our household though, lots of snow is not to be begrudged.  Jackie loves the stuff, and its hard to ignore her enthusiasm at it.  Said enthusiasm must be a little bit infectious, because when we asked Maia if she wanted to go outside in the snow while I cleared the driveway, her response was an adamant "YES!"
