Not a ride but a walk....

In the snow. I guess the groundhog screwed up again this year. Why do people make such a big deal about them predicting the end of winter? Anyway, here we go. After making a good breakfast, my daughter and I took Dex, our border collie out for a recon walk to asses the situation.
My daughter loves to eat snow, and even did it while controlling the dog!
We got about 3~4 inches of the thick, heavy, wet snow this morning. Forecasters were only calling for sleet changing to rain.
We came across this guy checking the conditions also. He was kind of offended by my daughter's snow-eating habits:
We came across a little creek and I thought this would make a nice pic so I snapped a few, experimenting with the flash/different exposures. This one was neat because the flash caught some snowflakes in action:
Coming back into my street. The wet snow was weighing down the trees, normally that pine is nowhere near the street:
It even filled up the net in our basketball hoop:
Dex was having fun in this stuff:
I took my daughter and her friend sledding at a lake near our house. The dam has a good sized hill and is a known sledding hotspot:
Crash and burn:
What goes down, must come up:
Some of the bigger kids made a rather large ramp, not really putting much thought into it. It was too steep of an angle so it pretty much ejected them almost six feet straight up! I was waiting for a dis-located shoulder on a few landings:
The snow stopped and the temps are kind of warming up, so hopefully I'll be back on the bike tomorrow. I hope this is the last of the white stuff I see this year!
