It's been "SNOW" much fun!

Well, boys and girls, can you believe how much snow we have gotten this school year? I cannot remember this much snow in our town since I moved here, and that was back in 2004. We had 5-6 inches just before Christmas break which allowed us to go home two hours early. Some of that snow was still on the ground a week later, or longer. Now we have just experienced another 8-9 inches, and this is our 3rd day out of school.

I enjoyed watching the snow fall on Friday night and Saturday. I tried to take my son Quinn out to play on Saturday but the snow was up to his knees and he couldn't walk in it. On Sunday when I took him out to play, he said "OH, Wow!", when he saw all the snow.

My best snow memory happened when I was in 4th grade. That year was 1988 and my dad said we got about 18 inches of snow over several days. School was out for over a week. I lived out in the country and on one side of our street was a strip of pine trees that went all the way down the street. Beyond the trees was a big field, which was really part of a local baseball field. Behind 2nd base and center field, the land sloped downward, creating a wonderful sledding hill. My dad, my cousin Jeff and I went sledding several days. The snow was so high (and I was so short) that my dad or Jeff (who was in high school) had to carry me up the hill. We would slide down and sometimes crash into piles of snow. Sometimes we would end up all the way to the trees. I only wish I had pictures of this day...I only have the pictures in my head.

So now I would like to know....what is your best snow memory? It can be from this recent snow, or it could be from a while back. I know some of you have only seen snow once or twice in your whole life. I want to hear about a snow day memory that you will remember when you are my age!

When my dad and me went to New York. It snow about 5-7 inches of snow. Me and him went to central park. The floor look like the color of a piece of white paper. Me and my dad had fun and had the biggest snowball fight ever. Now the best fun I ever had is, spending time with MY ONLY DAD.
