Late season snowstorm

We got a decent helping of snow Sunday night into Monday, and it was enough of a sure thing that Nick and Maria's school e-mailed us Sunday evening to let us know there would be a snow day. Looked like about six inches (15cm) when I did the shoveling.

This week I'll post some photos from our sledding adventure - Nick and Anna went out with me to our favorite local hill, and there we found the best sledding conditions we've seen in years. For now, here's a picture of snow monster Anna invading my office yesterday:

It's hard even in this picture to see how much mass the snowsuit adds to her frame. It's not quite as bad as an infant or toddler one-piece snowsuit, but it's probably a good four inches (10cm) from the outer shell to her skin. She lumbers around the house in her snowsuit like an offensive lineman.
