could we really call this snow???

I guess growing up in a place where snow was abundant... i almost felt embarrassed to bundle elly m. up in such a hideous outfit that i feel she will hate me for in less than 5 years mind you... to go outside to the 1 cm. of snow. it is crazy. they let hte kids out of school here this day. never and i mean never would this happen in the northern lands....anyhow... elly m. thinks that snow is for eating. i am not sure who taught her that. okay it was me. but it was hard to enjoy when laced in the snow is leaves. she would come to me after taking a bite with a leaf and say" this is nasty!!" and then i would laugh because i am almost sure i am the one that says things are nasty. like poopy pants.
