Another Day Another Snow Story

The episode of snow in Aberdeen is not over. Today the day started with another beautiful morning and the sun was out bright and sunny. This was especially nice since it is Saturday. The view outside the window looked fantastic with white blanket of snow everywhere. For once my front lawn look as good as our neighbour's ... By 11 am, fresh snow started to fall again as seen from inside our conservatory. The glass roof is covered with snow from the last 3 days.

This time it didn't snow for too long so we went out to pick up our friends who just returned from a 3 week holiday. Their first day back in Aberdeen was spent digging out their car, shoveling driveway and making a huge snowman with Mik.

One of our neighbours was also out today shoveling snows from his driveway and the road in front of our house. This road is shared among 4 houses and it was really kind of him to clear snows for a pretty long stretch of road. I can't even clear all the snows from my own driveway. My excuse: his shovel is bigger than mine!

He said the fact that the sun was out made it so nice to be outside ... and he got his fireplace going so he would enjoy sitting by the fireplace with some drinks afterwards.

After we had our rest in the house, nice and cozy, Mik reminded us that we are yet to go sledding as was promised to her yesterday. So we went to a slope within our neighbourhood where other kids were also sledding. Some of them have built a nice ramp and making stunts. I took some pictures when they are in the air ... and sometime crashed!

Mik also had a great time sledding. She had her own moment when she was flying in the air over a gentler ramp. Since the sun was setting it was getting really cold. I was busy taking pictures and I could not feel my fingers within such short period of time so I went home before Mik and her mom. 
It was a very nice evening. The moon was out. If only it was not unbearably freezing cold temperature, I would have stayed outside for a much longer time.
