Mo' Snow


Snow Happy!

We've had more snow here in New Jersey over the last couple of days and it looks really pretty, as long as you don't have to get anywhere in a hurry.

Yesterday was Martin Luther King Day, which is a public holiday for many people, including the schools, so I saw quite a few families out playing with small children in the snow. It wasn't enough to give Kyle a "snow day" off from work but at least some students at Princeton were able to build some cute snow-people. (Why is that we assume that the largest figure is the dad, the smallest one is the child, and the one in between is the mum?)

Today isn't a public holiday, but judging from the pictures on the television a lot of people have taken the day off anyway to see the inauguation of Barack Obama in Washington DC today. They don't have any snow but it is pretty cold both here and there, so I'm glad to be inside watching the events on TV this morning - it's like New Year all over again!
