It snowed here today

Snow in our area is rare. The mountains are about an hour's drive away, which is about as close to snow as we usually get. Even more rare is for it to snow before Thanksgiving day. Today, however, Mother Nature was feeling mischievous and she snowed on us!

Axel took Anja outside to play in the snow. He got her all bundled up and off they went to play in what could easily be the only snow we see this year. If you ever wondered what a child who has lost all feeling in their fingers look like, that ought to remind you! Poor thing. We didn't have mittens to fit her yet this year. Heck, we don't even have any that fit her last year because it didn't even snow once. Snow laden branches gave way and knocked out power for a short time. Of course that was all that they needed to cancel school for the day. No one over-reacts like a Portlander in Snow!
