We had our first snow here in 5 years on Saturday. It was fun, although for you folks who get a lot of snow I can see how it would be a pain if it lasted for more than a few days. We accumulated about an inch, and by three in the afternoon it was mostly all gone, but was fun while it lasted. I did not build a grassy, muddy snowman and there wasn’t enough to sled on, although my front yard is sloped enough so that would be fun if we ever got the chance. My wife put out a bowl to collect enough snow for some snow ice cream, but when she went to get it it was full of water. Basically I just went out with my 3-year old and walked around for a little while, but he got irritated quickly as it kept fluttering down into his eyes. It was his first-ever sight of snow in real life, and he was pretty excited about it until he got out in it, then he just wanted to go back inside. I stayed out for a while, thinking about global warming and wondering if it’s all just hogwash or if we are all, in fact, doomed.
