About a week before Christmas we started getting snow. Since that time up until last Monday it seems like it has been snowing every day straight. The snow has really piled up-- at least 2 feet deep at its highest point (this was about a week ago). Luckily the roads have stayed pretty well plowed and we have been able to get around fine, although Joshua has not been able to ride his bike to work on the really bad days. These last couple of days have been a little warmer and a lot of the snow has melted already, but from what we have heard from the locals the snow lasts through March, so we should be expecting some more soon.
On New Year's day we were able to all go outside and make a snowman. Ethan had a hard time staying on his feet and needed help getting up every time he fell (I think the three pairs of pants I put on him contributed to his immobility). Julia kept on telling Joshua that she thought the snowman was big enough. But, I think we all had a fun time.
The finished product! It stayed up for about two weeks and then one day we saw it laying on its side. We saw tracks leading up to it and away from it and so we have our suspicions as to what happened; our only question is who the culprits could be, because only adults live in our complex.
One of the worst days so far. There were probably 18-24 inches accumulation overnight. This was Sunday morning and unfortunately they don't plow the roads on Sunday. We had someone to pick up on the way to church and so our 15 minute route ended up taking over 45 minutes.
Mr. Snowman looked pretty funny with all of the extra snow on him.
