Snowflakes1 Snowflakes2 Snowflakes3 Snowflakes4 Lotsofsnow

It's been snowing SO. MUCH. This year I really get the idea of having 100 different words for snow, because each snowfall lately has been of a different quality. Yesterday J8 came in from outside and said, "the snowflakes look like milkweed seeds....
