We finally got the snow I've been waiting for. People that have lived here much longer than I say that this is the first time in more than twenty years that we've gotten snow like this. After snowing all night and then most of the day we have accumulated somewhere between 9-12" of snow. That meant I wouldn't be able to safely drive to work and the schools had been closed.
It was time to get the sleds out!
We bundled up, got together with the neighbors, and headed for the biggest hill in the neighborhood. I was a bit surprised at the small crowd that had gathered there. Apparently, it really is the best sledding spot in the neighborhood.
The hill was fast after being packed down by the few trucks that attempted to drive it. Some made it down the curved hill with no problem. Others wiped out and hit bushes and snow banks.
This was the best "work" day I've had in a long time. After sledding and getting freezing cold hands, we walked back home and got some hot chocolate. After a movie bundled up on the couch we went to bed early. Tomorrow will be another day on the slopes!
