First Snow: A Timeline

Saturday morning we woke up to see it was snowing. The snow was even sticking to the ground a little bit. The boys were so excited! They had grand dreams of snowmen and snowballs followed by hot chocolate with marshmallows.


  • Time to round up stashed away snowpants, mittens, and boots for all four boys: 9 minutes
  • Time to put above on four boys: 12 minutes
  • Time spent outside before first boy asked to come in: 1.2 minutes
  • Time before all four boys were huddled around the furnace exhaust pipe "trying to get warm": 2.7 minutes
  • Time before all boys were requesting to come in: 4 minutes
  • Time it took to take off four boys wet mittens, snowpants, and boots: 6 minutes
  • Time it took to hang up above to dry on line in garage: 9 minutes


 Oh, well. It was the first snow. I guess we will have to work on endurance. And get thicker mittens.

    Was hoping you would have gotten a
    few shots of your snow. We did NOT
    get any UP NORTH. Had a few flurries
    but nothing like what DePere got. I
    had talked to Grandma LaVerne and she
    said there was snow on the ground.
    Oh well, I'm sure we'll be getting
    some here soon.

    Luv, G. Linda
