snow business

after a very long and patient wait, snow has come to town.

snowman sentries were finally raised in the back yard,

and the street (directly in front of our driveway) was transformed overnight into
an himalayan base camp.

 

icicles were served at the canteen,

and our intrepid neighbour was among the first who braved ice-burn

on the swift slide down.

it has started to attract the on-the-way-home-from-school crowd;
daily, at 3:20 p.m., they scramble and chitter over the mound like squirrells.

with an estimated 15cm of more snow arriving today, the mountain-of-fun

isn't going anywhere soon!

the question is no longer "where to play?" but instead, "where to park??!!"
