Ice and snow

After heavy sleet and wind Monday night, we woke up early Tuesday morning to a thick sheet of ice and then got a little snow (the first picture is our covered back patio). It was impossible to walk on concrete without slipping, and walking in the grass was like walking on frozen tundra. Despite the temperatures in the single digits with the wind chill, Grace and Charlotte made snow angels and Madeline loved running up and down our fence line. The snow was so dry and icy that their snowman was actually a pile of snow...of course, they each insisted on their own carrot nose.
