First snow of the season

True fact: It has snowed in Philadelphia on 6 of the last 8 December 5ths of the year. This year saw about an inch (2.5cm) of snow fall on our fair city, and the next morning, we rolled out to take advantage:

This is just a tiny hill down the street from us. You wouldn't even think of it as a hill if you were out taking a walk - more like a gentle rise coming up to the street from the baseball field. Still, it gets the job done.

Nick decided he wanted to "hang ten" on his snowboard. This didn't end well.

Back at the house, the kids made a pint-sized snowman suitable for the day's meager bounty... notice all the green yard behind Nick in this picture:

It was a nice start to what we're told will be a very snowy season.
