Snow fell from Saturday night until well into Sunday evening here in Milwaukee. It started out as the big fluffy type on Saturday, but by Sunday midday it was the wettest, heaviest stuff I've seen in years. A shovel-full must have weighted 25 pounds. Sydney and Kristin were persuaded to head outside with me for a little fun. They've been inside for long spans recently and we try to get them out as much as we can. The trouble is that with Natalie’s RSV risk, we have to temper our enthusiasm with letting the kids out against everyone getting sick and endangering Natalie.
Naturally, with snow like this, a snowman was in order. Since the snow pack so easily, the problem wasn't making the parts, it was keeping the parts small enough to lift into place. I was just able to roll the first part into place in the front yard, and the second ball was almost too heavy to lift. It froze completely solid Sunday night, so it will probably last long enough for me to have to mow around it this spring.
