Even on the first day, there was a lot of ice mixed in with the snow. These two were the only ones who braved the weather.

We improvised to get the ice off our driveway...

Banging our wooden broomstick handle on the ice helped break it up, especially on day three after everything froze over again. Our broom is a little shorter now. ;)
Day three: Playing in the snow became sliding on the ice.
On day three, we ventured out! We had planned to go to the library (a new branch near us just opened) but it was just as well that we didn't, because we needed the extra time to stand in line at the grocery store. Most of the roads we drove on were clear, but there were some icy patches here and there.

The undisturbed snow looked so pretty

but it was really all ice

which made for some good sliding down the hill at our church!

Just the fact that we had a "day three"--and now, day four--is odd. As my brother says, this is imported snow because our snow never sticks around this long. ;) The temperature hasn't warmed up enough for much of it to melt away, and won't until Saturday.
According to CNN, 49 out of 50 states have snow, and 69.4 percent of the lower 48 is covered with some snow accumulation. Do you have snow in your area?
