It’s not often for us who live in Atlanta to experience snow. But with the recent winter storm that swept through most the country, we got a chance to really enjoy snow in our own backyard.
It was a short experience indeed. As soon as the snow fell down and accumulated enough, we headed out to our backyard. Based on my past experience I knew we have to seize the moment. Otherwise, you won’t have any snow left to play with the next day.
Lucky for us, the next day was cold enough for us to enjoy a second round of Winter Olympic – Snow Sled in our backyard. I didn’t think Miss J will be a dare devil type kid. But she proved me wrong. She opted to slide down head first and even attempted to slide down with 2 lids. Oh! By the way, we didn’t have a sled so we just use the plastic container lid. Work like a charm!
And yes, we (or actually Mr. Rojo) were able to build a good size snowman. He was big enough to tower over Mr. Z and guard our backyard for a few days afterward.
The best part about snow in Atlanta is there is no clean up necessary. The heat took care of the snow a few days after. No snow shoveling to break your back.

Looks like everyone but the bulldog had a great time!
@Carolina: Yeah! He probably is not used to the cold weather especially snow. :)
Look at that, the snowman even has a carrot for a nose! Fantastic.
This post gives a refreshing perspective on “right in your own backyard”. My kids would go absolutely bonkers. We never get snow where we live in California. Thanks for sharing!
I’m with Lorraine — what a treat to have snow come to your own backyard! Looks like the kids had a blast discovering what it was all about, too. Living in L.A., our little ones haven’t been so lucky!
Looks like a lot of fun. It snowed for about 10 minutes in Florida. Someday maybe we’ll get some snow.
OK–so I’m jealous of your snow :)
How fun! I heard all about the snow in Atlanta and we were sad that we missed it. We love our Atlanta snow days. :)
