After a night of 1-2 feet of snowfall...here's what else I've learned:1. When dressing for snow, waterproof is key, boots are nice, snowpants are a world of difference from jeans, and only the stretchy $1 cotton mittens fit over an arm cast.
2. If you wear thick enough socks, you can wear your mom's sneakers when yours are all wet.
3. Shoveled snow is no longer a beautiful white
4. A sunny snow day requires sunglasses.
5. There is no safe place to stand at the bottom of a sledding hill. (no collisions but lots of watch outs!)
6. Kids with shovels and two feet of snow can do amazing things.
7. Wet shoes and gloves left in the garage overnight don't dry...they freeze!
8. Dogs love snow - running in it, eating it, digging in it, whatever!
9. Snow tastes good!
10. If mom & dad can last longer than the kids, a peaceful stroll is all theirs!
And finally...snow is really, really beautiful (it glitters!)

With a forecast of lots of rain in Georgia and lots of snow in Virginia...we decided very last minute to pack up and drive north for the weekend. So here we are at Andrew's brothers, snow everwhere and still steadily falling. This California girl is learning a lot is learning from the blizzard of 2010...
