BUT, the first snow of 2013 caused ruckus. It canceled baseball tryouts. It canceled the kids last soccer game of the season. It canceled soccer team parties.
It caused 2 loads of laundry.
Ruckus I tell ya.
It snowed a total of THREE times this year, a new record - in a matter of less than 2 weeks.
By the 3rd time, I was mostly just annoyed...and tried to discourage outdoor snow play because the 3rd snow was much wetter than snow 1 and snow 2. Is that even possible? Dry snow? How would I know?
I did so many loads of snow laundry, as we are quite ill prepared for any type of weather that involves condensation of any sort...rain or snow.I didn't even know how to properly dress my tribe for playing in the snow, as noted by the plethora of clothing that was laying around in heaps of soaking mess.
We are desert rats. We live for the dry heat.
I don't even know where our one family umbrella is.
But they enjoyed it...
.
And I did, to the extent that I got A-Dog to do an experiment for me...
If you shake a tree with snow on it...will it all come down on you, or just some of it??
Seems like only some of the snow shakes off the tree...good to know.
There sure is such a thing as dry snow. Now wet snow is heavy...heavy...heavy with moisture and you get so much colder when that's landing on you. What a sucker he was to go under the tree to do that for a photo op!!
