It's Herererererererrerre.
Well Donna got her wish at last.
She has been a bit miffed because, up until now, the weather here has been rather mild. Well, for us it has been mild.
We were warned days ago that this snow storm was coming.
The amount of snow varied every time we heard the news. They said it would begin in Milwaukee at 9pm last night.
At 8pm we were at Walmart shopping for big coats and snow boots.
We got Lauren both coat and boots but could only find boots for Donna. When we came out of Walmart the sky seemed clear......not a snowflake in sight.
Donna was very miffed.
"Just like England", she remarked, " they keep telling us we will be getting tons of snow, but we rarely get any.".
Philip and I exchanged glances.
That doesn't really ever happen here.
We got home and at almost exactly 9pm, she was looking out the window, when she squealed, "it's snowing!"
And so it was. And so it did. And so it still was when we got up in the morning. And so it continued all day.
The good part is that the temperatures are not brutally cold yet. So, if you wanted to, you could go out in it.
We didn't though. We stayed in, well most of us stayed in, one of us went out on a date !!! One of us went to the cinema with a young man. His mum, dad and sister went too, which was lovely. He did seem very grown up and had a very deep voice.
Oh oh.......here we go.
Meanwhile, chez Banks......
the excited one was clearing the snow off of her car. She then shovelled the paths with Philip. She said she really enjoyed doing it. I mumbled something about asking her in February if she was still enjoying it, but I don't think she heard me.
Elsie had discovered the snow. This was her first glimpse at Milwaukee snow, it won't be her last, and she found it fascinating. Neither she, nor TommyJones showed any inclination to go out in it.
And finally..................
This is, apparently, The Snow Fairy...............he looks vaguely familiar to me...............
