Saturday afternoon: the snow is just starting to stick

From Snow, finally!!

Fabri thought it was very important to tell you & mostly show you how much fun we had with our snow this weekend.  The snow began early on Saturday afternoon.  Thankfully it waited for us to run some errands first.  It started lightly and Fabri scoffed and said it wouldn't amount to much.  Saturday evening, when it had finally covered the grass, we geared up in some snow stuff and took the puppy out to play.  He loves snow!

Sunday morning: winter wonderland

From Snow, finally!!

We were happy to have at least a little snow this winter.  Even the mountains have been bare and the Limone ski slopes closed.  The snow continued to fall all Saturday and into the night.  It picked up and by the time we went to bed, there was a few inches, 4 maybe.  Sunday morning we slept in, but at 7am, I had to go to the bathroom and on my way back to bed I could not resist looking outside.  There was our winter wonderland we'd been waiting for!  Everything was covered with white and the snow was coming down hard!

From Snow, finally!!

Fabri took the puppy out just to do his business, but his excitement could barely be contained.  We had a yummy breakfast and then got SUPER GEARED UP to go and play in what was about a foot of snow.

The snow did NOT stop falling at all on Sunday

From Snow, finally!!

We ran around (as best as possible) and threw snowballs for Olney and generally had a lot of fun.  I was happy some of Fabri's snow gear fit my ever expanding belly because I didn't want to miss out.  On Sunday we went out for two good play sessions.  It never stopped snowing, it just kept piling up & piling up.

Sunday evening we had to get down to business and free the cars for work today.  Our nice neighbor helped and the snow eventually stopped falling in the early morning hours of Monday.  Fabri had to clean off his work car this morning, but got to work without incident.  The roads are all cleared (which often means the snow is piled up on the sidewalks).

The snow out front Sunday evening

From Snow, finally!!

I took Olney out to play in the field again late this morning.  Our tracks from the evening before were visible, but covered and the snow came up to the tops of my knees (about 2 feet)!  It's been right around 0°C all day and tomorrow they're calling for moderate to heavy snow through out most of Tuesday, so I don't think this snow is ready to go away quite yet!

And even MORE snow this morning! (and schools were open today)
