They say it's an "early" winter

Saturday we got at least a foot of snow maybe even 1 1/2 feet. I was expecting a long winter here in New Hampshire, but I wasn't looking forward to it. Everyone tells me this is an "early" winter though. And that they often don't see snow until Christmas or later but that it does get bitter cold with or without snow.
Well welcome snow, luckily it hasn't been too cold. We can still have playgroup at the park and go for walks to the library in the evening with Paul. But my guess is it won't last much longer.
On Sunday we only had sacrament meeting, the rest of church was cancelled. Just becuase we have a little snow?! Come on! This is New England we're talking about, we're in the most Northern East part of the U.S. of course we're going to have snow. shouldn't these people just deal with it and have church like normal??
These were my first thoughts. Until later Sunday evening we had dinner with the Stake President and his family. He then explained that some people had to travel 45 minutes to church and to get there by 9:00 am is more difficult. If those members can't make it to church (also due to power outage) then we don't have enough people to carry out primary, relief society, young mens/womens and other duties.
Oh yeah, duh Amelia. I'm not in Utah anymore. Church isn't a block away for everyone in the ward. I'm learning everyday.
With cancelled church. We played in the snow!





Caleb giggled and giggled every time Paul threw a snowball, especially if he threw it at mommy...not funny to me.
