Their first taste of snow

Feb 4th, 2008

by Dan.

We woke up to snow on Saturday morning. It was gone by the afternoon but at least the kids got to play in it for a couple of hours.

I morn for the winters of my youth when snow lay on the ground for days on end. Will my grandchildren ever even see snow I wonder.

In July of this year I shall be walking 78 miles in 6 days in aid of the Joseph Salmon Trust, a charity founded by my close friends in memorial to their son Joseph who died aged 3 in April of 2005. Please look here for further details and consider sponsoring me. Thank you.

Looks like fun. I haven’t touched snow in at least three years. We’re planning a trip up to the mountains in two weeks to introduce out kid to snow. We’re looking forward to seeing his reaction.

Great pics – as usual. I like the white snow on the green grass by the car tire. Not something you see around here.

Very fun. It snowed here last week, and by here I mean everywhere but our yard.

I’m so glad you finally got some snow, Dan. I know you’ve been wanting to see some forever.

We would be OK with not seeing some for quite some time, but there you go.

Arjan – Snowdolls? you foreigners are weird.

Ed – She does love her wellies.

Jason – Just don’t leave him in it overnight.

Jeff – Unfortunately that grass is actually a plastic slide which i have yet to put up. I’m sorry to shatter your illusions.

Windex – Fantastic. Just pop it in the post and send it over.

Bec – Yorkshire and it’s inferior neighbours always used to get the snow. Now for some reason it seems to be Birmingham that has it all the time.

Whit – It’s a sad day for sledging when Huddersfield gets about the same amount of snow as L.A.

Bradley – We were in Chicago in March. There was no snow but plenty of rain.

Deb – We need to swop houses for winter. But could you fumigate first, i don’t think i could put up with that greg smell for more than a few days.

Oh I know what you mean about those many days of snow! Really, I’ve grown to dislike winter and snow because when it actually does snow, it’s just enough to make everything a mess and never enough to build a snowman! lol!

Both of your photos are just precious…

Oh, I miss snow. I passed through a burst on the way back from Manchester the other day but that’s the closest I’ve come to it this year. Dudelet experienced some when he was two but I don’t think he remembers it.

I’m back from outer space and I loved those photos. We lived in Phoenix (where it does NOT snow) so our kids had never seen any. When my eldest was 2 and I was pregnant with my now ten-year old, we drove up to the Grand Canyon so she could experience the wonder of white wetness for herself. Photos from that time are much like yours!

BTW, if you want snow, come to New England!

Who am I?

My name's Dan and I live near Huddersfield in the North of England. I’m a 34 years old part time stay at home dad. For three days a week I'm also a community mental health nurse but you won’t find me blogging about that here. I’m married to Kerry and we have two children - Amy (6) and Evan (3). I keep chickens, grow veg, and take the occasional long walk. If you want to know how other's describe me then take a look here. If you haven't been here before feel free to say hello in the comments.
In July of 2010 we'll be walking the length of Hadrian's Wall in six days. That's 84 miles across the entire width of England.

We're walking in aid of the Joseph Salmon Trust, a charity founded by our friends in memorial to their son Joseph who died aged 3 in April of 2005.

The Joseph Salmon Trust supports parents who have lost a child by providing financial assistance to those who need it most. Please consider sponsoring us. Thank you.

I will remain 100% honest in all my reviews however. On occasion I may review a product or post a link on my sidebar in return for a donation to the Joseph Salmon Trust. Again, any reviews I write will still be 100% honest.
I also pick my nose occasionally and sometimes drive slightly above the speed limit.
