Looks like they're having a blast. My VF wife is flying to Atlanta today; our son's fiancee is being given a wedding shower and she's there to attend. It was hard to get our tropical conditioned heads around how cold it must be so far "up north" from here.

Snow down there? Geeze.

We are supposed to have snow fluries here around mid-week. Nothing is sacred!

Fun pic.

@MontereyJohn: I thought I moved away from all this!!!!
In Maryland we grew tired of the snow and thought when we moved it would be a distant memory unless we went way up in the mountains!!!!

Such a great capture Jen! Even here we only used to get one decent snowfall a year, but it just keeps doing it, over and over. It's mostly wet stuff that soon disappears - not like Amy's snow. Her's is the finer drier stuff that just lays and stays! Used to live just a bit further south in Alberta than Amy! Glad the boys had such fun and a laugh for you too! It really is a treasure to keep ;-)
