Another snowy day
posted in Alaska, OmegaDad, OmegaDotter, Weather |The reason we were unable to see the moon-and-Venus show last night is that we had cloud cover moving in. I thought my post was too late, but apparently I was able to get at least two people out to view the conjunction, so My Work Here On Earth Is Done. Or something.
Anyway, the cloud cover moving in proceeded to dump snow. And dump snow. And dump snow. And it is still snowing.
OmegaDad (who posted a fine rant last night) decided that now that it is almost March, and springtime is a glimmer of light in the dark tunnel of winter, he should create an ice rink in our back yard.
Ahem.
Well, okay, a mini ice rink. A teeny tiny ice rink. While I am dubious, at best, I admit that when it freezes up I will partake of the 12×12 icy goodness for a few turns around the ice. So here is the mini rink filling up:
Here is OmegaDad doing more work on the mini rink:
The dotter actually helped shovel snow off the area to be the base of the rink. Then she played. First, she stands straight, falls flat on her back, emerges from the snow, and looks adorable. Note how the pinkness reflects off her PINK snow gear onto the snow…:
And then she marched on the play structure/thing we have, that was covered with snow, and did her favorite activity, creating an avalanche. First, before:
Then in avalanche-y action:
All grand fun.
