Snow Day
What started out, or so I assumed, as a just another cold Sunday changed with some excitement from Piper, yelling about the sky falling from the playroom. “Daddy, It’s snowing!!! It’s snow daddy!!! Come hear, come hear”. I don’t know what I thought she might be seeing but snow certainly was not on the list. It has been cold and rainy, and later I heard that snow was forecast, but it so rarely snows here that it never crossed my mind that it actually was – silly three-year-old – what does she know.
Turns out she knows precisely what snow looks like falling from the sky. This wasn’t just small flakes dusting the ground either. It was the huge puffy wet snow falling everywhere. At the point Piper noticed it had likely been snowing for a while as the ground, bushes and vehicles were covered with an inch or so.
Quickly we got dressed to suffer the cold and wet to come and rushed out to play. Violet had been in snow before but not at an age she would remember. She certainly had fun just running around and looking at the snow fall from the sky. Piper enjoyed it as well but was quite obviously cold. We played for a good while before I was able to get some pictures and we headed back inside for hot cocoa and chocolate milk.
