Snow!

In mid-January it snowed about four or five inches over the course of a week. The temperatures stayed below freezing (usually in the twenties) throughout the week, so the snow stayed on the ground. Things do slow down and even get closed here like they do in Georgia as they are not equipped for snow and ice.

Amy actually realized this the hard way on the Friday the snow started as the buses stopped running that afternoon. Johnny called to send a taxi to her, but the taxi driver declined the request! So, Amy walked home two miles in the snow! Here's what it all looked like:

Emily and Amy having fun, but it was cold!

 

Johnny's attempt at a snow angel...no comments please :)

 

Emily had a blast!

 

We all made a snowman!

Emily's favorite thing was to make and throw snowballs. Watch out!

Finally we made what we called 'Downton Fort' while it was snowy and cold outside! (Yes, we watch the PBS series Downton Abbey. Highclere Castle aka Downton Abbey is only an hour away!)
