We had hoped to broken in a little more slowly with an inch or two, but our first real snow in Northwest Indiana dropped close to 9 inches in our backyard on November 17-18. You see, there is this little thing called "Lake Effect Snow" that can drop loads of heavy snow very quickly...very quickly. I'm no meteorologist, but it has something to do with the Great Lakes, wind and precipitation. ;) Mom and Dad went to sleep at around 10:30 and lamented the fact that very little snow had fallen...then we woke up. Wow! Should be an interesting first winter in NWI and don't be surprised to see many more snow pictures...

Grayson wasn't sure what to think...he's not a huge fan of the cold

But as long as Daddy is around, Landry is happy!
