Winter with a Vengeance

It’s actually nice to have some real winter weather for a change.  I get a perverse pleasure out of hearing New Englanders boast about how hard winters are here and then turn around and whine when it really happens.  Personally, I could do without the ice, but snow and cold are just fine with me.

Some years, the schools in our town have no snow days.  Other years, they’ll declare snow days because of a potential threat of snow that never materializes.  This year, there have been two snow days so far, both this month, and both for good reason.  Improvement!  Our son loves this, because he’s a senior in high school this year, and seniors do not make up snow days.  Naturally the rest of the high school hates that fact 😉

We’re nowhere close to a record snowfall year, but we have had a fair amount since Christmas.  It’s definitely a Winter Wonderland out there!  Covered in a layer of ice now, but still an interesting landscape.
