I guess that depends on your point of view. If you are driving a front wheel drive van that keeps getting stuck in the driveway or on the hill leading up to the house then the weather is frightful. I am glad that Dad and Spencer have vehicles that are capable of towing our van because we needed it more times than I care to remember. Alan thought it was great when we got towed because it reminded him of "Cars" (his favorite movie). However if you just want to go out and play in the snow then the weather is great! We tried to make a snow man but the snow was too dry so it turned into a snow ball fight!!
Dad took us toboganning behind his jeep. He pulled Reed and Alan around by the house and then they went down the hill.

This is the first time I have tried to post a video. Hope it works. Alan and James were ganging up on Reed.

We took Alan to the local zoo here to see Santa. He was really excited with the idea. When he saw Santa he went running up to him and stopped about three feet in front of him and just started talking. He wasn't shy at all until I tried to get Alan to sit on Santa's lap for a picture and then he didn't want to get too close. He finally stood next to him for a picture. When Santa asked Alan what he wanted for Christmas Alan said: "An egg". That didn't seem to phase Santa who said "Okay". Alan was refering to a kinder surprise chocolate egg, in case you were wondering.
A couple of weeks ago Alan and I read a book called "The first snowfall". Ever since then he has been waiting for it to snow. It snowed last night and this morning when Alan woke up he was so excited. He dragged me out of my room this morning so that we could look out the window together and he could tell me all the things that are covered with snow. Then I put his cold weather clothes on and he went outside to help Reed shovel and brush the cars off. Then Alan found a frisbee and he and Reed played frisbee in the snow. They had so much fun together! Then Alan came in and I gave him some hot chocolate because that is what the girl in the story does to warm up. Alan thoroughly loved the whole experience - he was even excited that his cheeks were red (because that happened to the girl in the story too). The only thing we missed was seeing a pink snow plow (the snow plow in the book is pink). We told Alan that there are no pink snow plows around here but I don't think he believed us.
