January 27, 2012 - A taste of winter

It snowed today.  Normally this would not be interesting as it is January in Canada.  But this year we have had more rain than snow and it has felt more like spring.  I am not complaining.  The kids got a snowman making kit which they can't wait to try, but we haven't had snow.  The Girl is learning to skate and wants to go to the park and skate with me, but it hasn't been cold enough. 

So everyone was happy to see the snow this morning.  Now it is 4pm and the snow has melted away already.  The kids are a little dissapointed, they can't wait for snow that hangs around for a while:)
