Rather than stay inside we decided to go exploring and had an interesting time driving on roads where the markings were obliterated by the snow - and that was on the interstates! The minor roads were pretty much invisible, and unlike the UK, its so cold that the snow doesn't melt when there's a lot of traffic over it. I did drive pretty carefully though which marks a change from normal behaviour.
The firs at the front of our house are looking suitably seasonal now
The picture above is of lake Cornelia near our house, its difficult to tell the different between a lake and a car park at the moment.We tried sledging down our driveway but the snow was too powdery when it first fell, we're hoping for better sledging snow today.
Winter exercise
This morning I spent an hour and a half shovelling snow from our driveway - very good exercise.
Yesterday was Dan's final ice-skating lesson of the sessions we've booked for him. He really has developed a unique style that we call the 'Very Fast Not Quite Falling' style - see for yourself.
