Snow in Plano!

The average annual snow accumulation for Plano is 2-3 inches. We received all of it on Sunday! We probably got 3-4 inches!

It started out as rain, then freezing rain, then huge snow flakes. I was surprised at how soon we started accumulating snow considering we were up in the 60s just 2 days prior to the snow.

But it was beautiful. It stuck to everything because we were hovering right around freezing.

The snow was great for building snowmen. We went out to Russell Creek Park and built one while it was still snowing. Poor Ian, by the time we were done with it, his hands were freezing and hurting :)

Then later in the afternoon, we went on a hill hunt. Plano is not know for it's, ahem, hills. But near the pond at Russell Creek, we had a little embankment that we went up and down several times. Payton was especially loving it. She couldn't get enough.

Here's a video Payton took while on Daddy's back.

Here's the kids going down together.

Ian enjoyed sledding too, but once his hands got cold, he was done. Poor guy cried half of the walk home because he was so miserable. Each child wanted hot chocolate when they got home to warm them up. Their version of hot chocolate that is - which is just melted chocolate chips.

It was a rough day for Ian.
