I am not sure why I try to kid myself every year by thinking the "BIG ONE" has missed us this year. I should know by now that there will be a big snow around the end of February, first of March every year if it hasn't already arrived. Needless to say, we awoke to more than just a dusting of snow that we have seen over the past weeks.
We promised the kids that we would take them to the small, local ski slope so we all piled on the winter clothes and braved the small blizzard. We didn't stay too long, but we did manage to grill a few hot dogs, drink a little hot chocolate, and do a little sledding.
