Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

This morning we woke up to the beginning of a winter wonderland. Snow has arrived here at Star Valley Ranch in Wyoming. It is a wet snow and not much to play in right now. The beautiful fall colors that we enjoyed yesterday were covered up by the snow but, the prediction is that this snow will melt .... more leaves will fall .... then more snow will come and stay. It is not unusual for their to be 10' of snow for the majority of the winter on the ground around the houses here. Thankfully, we'll head to St. George most likely next week.

Winchester Ice Storm

I found these pictures on my camera from about 2 1/2 weeks ago. We had to explain to Max that now all falling snow was fun to play in and make snowmen with. Here are some shots of Mark and Max working on clearing our ice. Max could walk on top of the ice no problem. In different places it held Mark and I just find as well. Slippery ice is not much fun to play in!

Get me off this ice!
I'm sure I can help dad ...

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow ...

Tonight we had our first snow storm of the season. We were actually across the street talking to some of our neighbors and their kids and Max had a great time watching the snow come down. Nice big fluffy flakes! Their kids immediately hoped that school would be cancelled - no need to do the rest of their homework - while Max could not wait to get outside. We carefully walked down the driveway and crossed over thankfully not falling or slipping! Of course the snow has stopped now but, the trees and grass look beautiful with their first dusting! Let it snow, Let it snow .... Let it Snow!
