Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

Here we go again....

 It started snowing early this morning and it shows no sign of stopping.  I have a love-hate relationship with snow.  At this time of the year when it gets dark at 3pm in the afternoon, I really look forward to snow.  It brightens up the surrounding a little.  Especially when there is sun and snow, the ground just glitters! Or when the moon is bright and the ground is covered with snow, it is bright because of the moonlight and so romantic!  It also feels less chilly when the snow really comes because it is less humidity in the air.

But then the snow stays for MONTHS!!!! After 3 months of whiteness, slippery roads and looking like a rice dumpling (not that it makes any difference without those layers of clothes.... >.<"), I want the snow to go away so the plants can start budding! But noooooo..... the snow stays till around April (it was still snowing in May last year!), before it finally crawls away unwillingly....

But the kids are always excited when the snow comes...

Going for sled rides, building snowman, making snow lanterns, ice skating, throwing snow balls...

Looking out of the window and begging to go out....  Unfortunately it is wet snow today, not so fun and very cold.  And I really mean ALL the kids, even the furry one is looking out.... ^.^

"What the......?????"

She looked out and then looked at me, as if asking,"Did you see what happen outside? What was THAT?" and then turned back to look out of the window.

This fur baby was born in spring and when she started running (more like bouncing actually) around, it was already summer.  So she has not seen snow yet.  It will be interesting to bring her out later! ^o^
