There are some good things about living in a midwestern polar wasteland, I guess.

It's about the only good thing about getting lots of snow - that, and how pretty it makes things (at least until it turns to grey slush!)
Little kids pulling sleds. Pulls those heartstrings every time. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, yes! How wonderful.
Yes yes yes. I grew up (sort of) in a polar wasteland not in the midwest but in Spokane and it was exactly like this. And we used everything for sleds laundry baskets and pieces of cardboard and each other.

I really don't like to snow at all but I really do like how pretty it makes everything look. But as soon as it starts looking yuckey I want it gone because I hate things looking like yuck!
17 inches of snow here this past Saturday (the official weather bureau total, some spots got upwards of 20 inches), with wind. The highway department closed the main interstate running through southern Minnesota. Buses stopped running in Minneapolis and St. Paul mid-afternoon Saturday, didn't start again till mid-morning Sunday. At one point Saturday the highway department took the snowplows off the roads because there was so much blowing snow the snowplow drivers couldn't see the roads they were driving on.
It's stopped snowing for a couple of days, and now we get to be cold. Minus 3 degrees when I got to work this morning, supposed to get down around minus 11 tonight.
Yes, there must be some good things about living a midwestern polar wasteland... Um, what are they again?
(Schools here were closed yesterday and will be closed again tomorrow. I loved days like this when I was a kid.)
Cool pic...
Happy Holidays!
I like your blog background, too. :)
