"It's like magic falling from the sky!"

So said Lyddie about the snow. We get so little of it around here that the younger two have never seen it before in any real quantities.

















It's the fine, powdery stuff - very beautiful, but no good for snowman making. Good for sledging though!





















The baby seemed bewildered. Very quiet and contemplative. I took her down the hill on the sledge, sitting in front of me and going quite fast and she still kept quiet, until I asked her if she liked it, and got a definite "Yes."

















We went shopping for essential food supplies, but struggled to get the car back up the last bit of the hill, which is uncleared and ungritted, so I think we're staying put now until the thaw! Not that I'm complaining.

Max believes that when it is icy the ice dragon breathes on everything.

I wish we had had some magic falling from the sky here.

Ohh boy, you should really-REALLY plan a trip to Canada sometimes in January. Any January. :-)
