Well, winter has not even officially started here yet, but over the past few weeks we have been experiencing some freezing weather conditions! Most days recently have not gotten past 0 degrees as the maximum. We have had a light dusting of snow on a few occasions but it pretty much melted straight away. But today we were treated to a real winter wonderland! It started snowing as we were walking to the metro and it very quickly became heavier and heavier. The snow continued for most of the day until there was a good 2-3 inches on the ground. It was so beautiful to see and Pia and Ella loved walking around in the snow and trying to make and throw snowballs.
It would have only been snowing for a bit over half and hour when this photo was taken. We were on our way to the National Gallery of Art to meet some friends.

and here is a video of a snowball fight in action and James' great shot!
So this was our fun day in the snow. It has stopped snowing now but they are predicting more snow for the weekend so there may be more fun to come yet!
These photos give me goosebumps! Not just because it looks freezing but because they are so beautiful and so exciting! How fantastic for the girls to see, and what a difference seeing their local park covered with snow! Lucky, lucky girls! I can't get the video to play! I will keep trying as I am v keen to see James' shot! X
ReplyDeleteJust got the video to work!~VERY FUNNY! I loved watching Ella and Pia run out from under that big pine tree! Great shot, James - where did that actually make contact with your body, Priscilla?! It all looks like so much fun! There is so much snow, I can't believe how thick the ground cover is! X
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a great shot! James can't stop laughing at it everytime he sees it. It got me right in the chest and he packs a pretty hard snowball! Plus because my hands were busy I could not defend myself. It was a great day in the snow and the girls had lots of fun. 2 days later now and it's melting but there is still quite a lot around. Talk soon xP
