Holiday Fun: Snow Badger

We read the kids a tale on Solstice called Redwall's Winter Tale (not the feast one I mentioned previously) and it related the tale of the Snow Badger who would bring the first snow.

Well, the badger is here.

There are ice polka dots all over our windowscreens and drifts creeping up the ledges so that we can barely see outside. When we do get a view, through a half-frosted window, we see the shadows of bare limbs dancing on the smooth snow as wind races across the surface making eerie music; the snow is horizontal, except when it seems to be little balls of frozen rain. Everything is bright because everything is white; also, because all the motion-sensored house lights are on up and down our street, including our own. Talk about "gave a luster of midday."

Imagine what it will look like in 8-12 more inches!
