Leap Day, 2012 ... Our first (and probably last) snow storm in Minneapolis during the current winter season. We got between 8-10 inches in our neighborhood - enough to delay our work day.
The locals have been split ... some are happy that we've had a warm winter, less long commutes, fewer hours spent shoveling/snow blowing, easier to get around - others have been seriously bummed by the lack of cold and snow, short ice fishing season, little to no chances for snow mobiling, and countless cancelled winter festivals. Kyle and I have been somewhere in the middle - really glad the roads have been good (especially since I have a 25 mile commute in my Camry) but we had a trip planned up north for me to try snow mobiling for the first time that we had to cancel. Either way, not complaining.
There is one person in our family who has really been missing the snow. Well, since she's so good at enjoying the little things, she hasn't really pined for it (distracted by extra walks and ice cubes from the freezer) but boy did our little Paisley embrace last week's snow storm. Judging by the pictures we captured, she was definitely on cloud nine.
If it makes our baby this happy ... we'll deal with snow storms all season long. :)
