First Snow

Yesterday (December 5) we got our first snow of the season. Not much -- two or three inches at most, not sticking to the roads since temps were in the 30s -- but school still opened two hours late this morning due to worries about ice. Sarah had a lot of fun last night playing in the snow with neighbors. I stayed home yesterday, not because of the snow (though it's always a nuisance here where people drive like it's dry) but for a mental health day.

Thinking of snow reminds me of a page on our longstanding website, showing Sarah's first snow. From, based on the text, sometime in January 2002, when she was only about 21 months old. It's been online so long that I don't feel it violates her privacy; she doesn't look like this anymore anyway, and I'm sure it's been archived by various web search engines. So I'll link to it.
