Still No Accumulation!

We have had several days of very frigid weather, but still no snow accumulation. I refer to it as my mother's favorite kind of snow, the kind that does not stick when it falls to the ground. For the past few days, however, the temperature as been in the 20's for the high and around 5 for the low. This meant the future pond area, where the water table is higher, has iced over.

So the children have enjoyed ice walking. They have been playing on these spots for a couple of days, dreaming of when we have the bigger pond and they could really ice skate.

We let the dogs out to run off some energy and immediately they ran to the children. Blossom hit the ice and slid into Isabella knocking her flat. She said she was alright and they all continued to have fun sliding around, even the dogs. I foresee the buying of ice skates by next winter!
