Last night the snow started while we were out eating dinner. We woke up this morning to about 5-6 inches of snow and then a wintry mix of sleet and snow started coming down. We decided to take a trip around our neighborhood block after the sleet stopped. Here we go on our big adventure.
Davis was lucky enough to be pulled around in his little sled. He is also wearing the snow pants that Grammy Stickley bought in Winchester. They sure came in handy for his first BIG snow in North Carolina. 
He made some funny faces along the way.. we think mostly because his little cheeks were cold and when the wind blew it was a little chilly on his face. 
Toward the end of the walk we decided that Hannah could be a "sled" dog and pull Davis along. We clipped the sled rope into her collar and away we went. She didn't really like this at first and several times would turn around quickly making Davis pivot in his sled. We also had her running and Davis was sliding along the snow quickly. Thank goodness we had no accidents.
Finally home again.

Davis was a bit upset at this point because he took his gloves off AND his hands were getting COLD. We decided to go in and thaw.
It was much warmer getting to watch from inside.
Look at Daddy shoveling snow. Davis watched out this window for a long time. He smiled and called out to Chris constantly. Chris would look up and yell his name and he would return the biggest smiles.

Our back porch was covered with snow. I measured it at about 8 inches deep.
We will see how long this snow sticks around since the weather isn't supposed to warm up for days. It definitely was icy on the roads in the neighborhood as the snow was packed down.
