Snowmen, Bitter Cold, and Snowshoeing

We waited and waited. But the snow never came. November...the ground was bare. December...the ground was bare.

We had one small storm towards the end of December, but the snow didn't last. Emi & Jack managed to scrape up enough snow to make some small snowmen though :)

Jack's seems to be wondering about the lack of snow (and in need of some 'Orbitz')

Finally in January the snow started coming...finally!


But so did the cold! I think the wind chill factor was in the -60's, -70's BRRRR


Now that we have snow, we have been getting out and doing some snowshoeing (when it's not 20 below zero)

Jack and I were able to find a stump to set the camera on so we could set the timer and get a picture of us together :)

Tough going in places but he did a great job leading the way back :)


Winter in Maine, it's what you make it ;-)
