Yellow Snow

First snow of the season made for a tricky walk yesterday.

I'm not sure what this was but I peed on it anyway😉...

Snowmen Making

Emilie and I made some snowmen, or perhaps snowpeople to be politically correct, yesterday afternoon. The picture above was taken some 15+ hours later, so you can see what the 50+ degree day has done to them. Although, the one on the far left has been named Ghosty and therefore was never decorated. The others, well they're in various states of melt - you can see some of their parts lying on the snow in front of them.

Frosty?

We had a pretty good nor'easter last Friday that dumped about 6" or so. It wasn't too bad a storm as the snow was light and fluffy and easy to shovel; not the best for snowballs and snowman making though.

However, Saturday morning we noticed this unique snowman at the neighbors house across the street. An elderly woman lives there so we found this snowman out of place, especially because the snow wasn't good for snowman making remember, so we took the following picture.



A couple of days later after the weather warmed and the snow began to melt we looked for the neighbors snowman but he wasn't there. Where could he have gone? It wasn't that warm to melt him away or was it?! Instead what we saw in it's place was an old tire, see below picture. That mother nature sure is creative.

Snowman 2007

Emilie's first snowman of the season!

Unfortunately, mother nature had other plans for this dude, perhaps a higher calling. Hours after making this snowman the weather warmed and the rained moved in. Needless to say his stay was short and Emilie was upset but it's only December and we have a long winter ahead of us. We'll be making more for sure.

We just need to make sure that we build our future snowmen in a safe location. A safe location being one that my brother can't access with a Honda Civic. Ah, memories...
