I woke up yesterday morning to a smattering of snow on the ground and I almost believed that winter hadn't been cancelled this year. There was a chilliness to the air that was refreshing. Sadly, it rose to 7 degrees C during the day today and everything has melted away again. What a strange winter this has been.
I really feel badly for the poor kids who were relying on working at the ski resorts for the season. It's hard to believe that there are so very few runs open and it's almost the middle of January! I bought Colin cross-country skis for Christmas last year and between the weather last year and this year he's been able to get out on them a grand total of ONCE! That'll teach me to buy winter toys anymore.
It's nice not to have to worry about slipping out there right now, but I am a little concerned about the conditions. Could it be that we are losing a season altogether?

Connor was pissed that he didn't get to go sledding this Christmas break. I was also going to teach him to ski this year. Oh well - Sunday it's supposed to really arrive.
