It’s pretty pathetic that the 1/2″ of snow that came down last night got everyone here excited, but it did. We’ve now broken the record for latest snowfall in a season in Poughkeepsie (previous record was Jan 14th). It’s just enough snow so that our lawns are white instead of green (yes green, as the crazy warm weather meant lawns didn’t really brown over this winter).

I just hope we get a real storm at some point (6 inches would be great), as I’d really like to get out to do some kind of winter sports this year. Susan and I are all geared up for x-country skiing, snow shoeing, sledding, or ice skating, and haven’t gotten to use any of that gear since February of last year.
