Two Feet in Two Weeks

Yesterday it snowed.  Again.

 Evelyn and I ventured out while it was snowing just to measure how much we got.  The novelty of scooping snow has worn off for both of us, so we saved the shoveling for Troy after he got home from work.

This afternoon, the girls went out to play in nearly two feet of snow (in a span of two weeks).  They tried building snow critters, but they only got as far as a snow dog.  The snow was too icy to pack.

 Then they turned their attention to the monster pile of snow at the end of the cul de sac, courtesy of the city plows.

 They brought shovels to the creek-side (not street-side) of the snow pile and dug out a little fort.  They look as snug as a bug in there.

Both the girls' fort and the pile of snow are quite impressive.  I think the snow is piled about six feet high here, which lends itself to creative fun.
