We got about 2.5 inches of wet, fluffy snow overnight. Unlike the last snow and-sleet combination which made for good sledding but not much else, this one was the perfect consistency for snowballs and snowmen (and left the streets untouched, I might add)! To build our snowmen all we needed to do was get a football-sized snowball rolling in the yard. It would roll up all the snow underneath it. It was like rolling up a snow rug it was so easy!

The snow began on Friday, Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. Hallie’s working on a school project about Honest Abe, so I joked this morning that I’d build a “Snowbraham Lincoln,” rather than the usual plain snowman. When one of my friends on Facebook requested pictures of this feat, I was on the hook to do it. So above, I present Snowbraham Lincoln: a 1/4 scale replica of the Lincoln Memorial, rendered in snow. The model is Hallie Turner.
