Level 3 Snow Emergency

Yesterday, we had a level 3 snow emergency, which means you are not allowed to drive on the roads, and if you do and you get stuck/caught, you get a ticket. Emergency personnel are allowed on the roads, but that is all. When the sun came out, we decided to clean off our cars. we had a bad experience the first year we lived here, when it snowed a lot and we did not drive for a while, then we tried to clean off our car and it was a solid chunk of ice. We now try to clean off our cars shortly after a storm.

While Jon cleaned off the cars, James and I played in the snow. James loved it! He threw snowballs to his hearts content. Here he is making hand prints in the snow. He thought it was really funny. We made a snowman, but our first few attempts did not work out. The snow on top was great packing snow, but the snow closer to the ground was not, so we could not roll a snowball to make it bigger. Jon just kept packing snow on to make it bigger. James and I found sticks for arms, eyes, and buttons. I also found a piece of bark for a nose and a leaf for hair. The leaf blew off so the snowman lost his hair. Oh well.
