life with the snow.

It's still here. The temperature has dipped lower than I've ever known in my life, into the Fahrenheit negatives. It's also, I believe, one of the longest times snow has stuck to the ground. So we've been bundling well and continuing on with life as best we can. The first few days we tried to go sledding on the hill down the road but came running home before long due to the biting cold that stung our faces and froze our fingers. Just walking down to the swimming pool two blocks away gives me a red nose and icy cheeks. The deep cold and long lasting snow was unlooked for, spring seemed around the corner, we were all ready to say au revoir to winter but God had other plans. It's certainly the most wintery winter I've had in a long time, and despite being ready for some warmth, I'm learning to enjoy it and take it as it comes.
