the big snow of 2011

The first portion of the snow-fall-of-the-year gave us the most perfect snowman snow!!!  We all bundled up and went out front for some cold fun.  We got right to rolling snowman balls.  At one point we took a break to make ghetto wanna-be snowcones.  Trent dug it.  Maggie enjoyed the snow for all of 3 minutes.  We were all very proud of our snowman.  The snow continued on well after we went back inside, and it continued on well into the night.  At around 11pm I looked out the window to see the ground completely covered in snow.  Since it was late the sidewalks weren't shoveled, the roads weren't plowed, and there weren't any people walking the streets.  All there was was a set of footprints headed up to our snowman and a set of footprints walking away from it.  Our snowman?  in pieces on the ground.  VERY disappointing.
