Just after the 2nd big snow.

Here are a few pictures and videos from just after the 2nd major snowstorm in less than a week. - another 18+ inches!

Preparing to go out.

My boys.





Jackson wasn't crazy about the sledding.  Too many spills face-first into snow banks and hard ice earlier in the winter, I guess. 





Jackson LOVES to shovel snow, just like his dad.

I was standing up on the ground in this picture - snow up to my knees.

This was a big night because we got a package in the mail from our friends the Ireland's.  They sent us a bunch of Auburn stuff for Lilly, and a couple of things for Jackson.  He wasn't so sure about this gift at 1st, but now he loves it.


Unfortunately, that was about it for snow this year.  We were supposed to get yet another big snow just a few days later, but it fizzled out and was just a few inches here, and I even ended up driving into work that day.  I can't complain, though - the snow totals for our area this year completely obliterated all past records.  It was a wonderful, snow, cold winter - just they're supposed to be!  I can't wait for next winter.

Update:  Spring has been wierd this year.  We usually have a 2 to 3 month, gradual warm up, but this year only a couple of weeks after the last snow, it was very warm.  it went from very cold winter directly to late spring without anything in between.  Also very rainy - record rain in March.  Since then, it's ben unusually warm - even hot.  Summer-like temps.  Uhhhh.  Bring on winter!
