As the sun finds its way to the horizon earlier and earlier, the accumulation of snow grows higher and higher. This past week, we received a hodgepodge of weather, getting everything from rain to snow, sun and clouds, and even a sprinkle of ice pellets. Needless to say, by the end of the week, Jana and I decided that the blanket of snow that resides outside our window needed to be played in. The result of our efforts was a stout little snowman with leafy hair and a carrot nose.
You might consider this snowman to be a warm-up for what is to come next week. Jana and I will be going on a student trip up to Lapland (northern Finland). While we are there, there should be opportunity to view the Northern Lights, swim in the Arctic Ocean, try out some dog sledding, and perhaps even build a snowman or two. Pictures and stories are sure to come next weekend.
