Fun in the snow 02-10-11

We woke up to a winter wonderland... The snow that had fallen yesterday was so pretty in the morning sun...
With so much of it accumulated, I was looking forward to a fun morning playing in the snow! Although the sun was out, it definitely wasn't the day to be catching rays!
(Although according to the five day forecast, it will be warm enough for us to this weekend since it will be in the 60's- how crazy!)
The temperature certainly is much lower today with all the snow and lots of icicles...long icicles...
We ended up with about 3 1/2 inches of snow...
I was waiting for Charles to bundle up and come outside, and I greeted him with a snowball!
I ended up missing him but managed did start a snowball fight!
We entered a cease fire so that we could get our picture in the snow...
The snow wasn't really sticking, so we couldn't make good snowballs, but that didn't stop our snowball - or, I guess, snow - fight!
We had so much fun!
I actually maneuvered and managed to hit Charles in the face - which he usually does to me - and I had avoided the snowball direct hit to my face, so I was feeling really good and just had to get our picture...
The snowball fight should have been over right then, but Charles just had to run up behind me and shove lots of snow right in my face!!
OMG - it took my breath away by the snow making its way into my lungs, and it was so cold - I told Charles I was a bit worried about frostbite - of course, he was just laughing...and Charles calls me competitive! :)
We had a great time racing through the snow...and snowball fighting!
We then went to the front to see how pretty our house looks in the snow...There are HUGE icicles...
in the entryway too...
The road was icy, so I just had to ice skate on it!
I asked Charles to come skate with me...
and he brought me an icicle to enjoy during our skate!
He did such a good job skating...
Scott Hamilton's got nothing on Charles!! :)

I had fun skating...
and watching some neighborhood children slide down the hilly road up the street! It looked and sounded like they were having so much fun!
Charles and I had such a fun morning in the snow!!
