Libby's First Snowman

Yes. It snowed again yesterday. We officially have the snowiest December - February here in Mid-MO and the 3rd snowiest winter season (this includes pre-December snow and post-February snow) since 1800 something. I hear that according to the Farmer's Almanac we're supposed to get another BIG snow in late March. The Farmer's Almanac correctly predicted our Snowmaggeddonocalypse in early February. So we'll see what comes. I guess that means that this winter will be down in the record books.



Libby and Mike went out to make a snowman this morning. She's never been able to make one before because the snow has been too fluffy so far this winter. This snow is really wet and slushy because it snowed, sleeted, and rained yesterday to make a very slippery mess today. Anyway, Mike said when they came in that the snowman is a little "off". He said it could fall at any point. His excuse to why it wasn't constructed better is that he's from Florida and he didn't properly learn how to make snowmen. Funny how when he wants to claim to not know anything about winter he says he grew up in Florida. If he meets someone from West Virginia then you'd think he just moved to Missouri last week by the way he talks to them. His "hometown" changes with his mood or out of convenience. It must be nice to have that kind of flexibility.

Michael,
Have you conveniently forgotten the acre sized front yard that we had at North Mitchell Heights and all of the snow we had? And spending time at Mom Helen's with Jason & Beth playing in the snow before then. Come on now...remember, you were 12 when we moved to Florida! We had many snowy winters in West Virginia that you played in before we left there. I'm sure I can dig out pictures of snowmen you've made. Hopefully you won't have any more snow this year to practice with, but there's always next year.
Love,
Mom Kosher
