All the snow in Michigan

When we were in Michigan visiting family over the MLK Jr. holiday weekend, we were surprised at the amount of snow they had. But then when you live close to the lake, you get lake effect snow - and lots of it. When we arrived Friday evening there was around 22 inches. Then it proceeded to snow the rest of the weekend and add another 4-5 inches. These are the pictures I got throughout the weekend (Saturday - Monday).

I always love big pine trees with lots of snow.

Look at how much snow is on that picnic table!

While it is pretty, I'm glad we didn't have it back here at home. Although that might mean that isn't quite as cold...

Snow, cold days, and hot chocolate

Do your kids love drinking hot chocolate? Jase loves it, especially if he's been out playing in the snow. These were taken a few weeks ago, during the last significant snow we got (since then it's been in the 60's and now it is close to 0F, with very cold wind chills, -20F).
