The weather man warned us that it would start snowing on Sunday. We were due to get 3-5". Just as predicted, the sleet came down right at 6pm. However, while everything north of us got tons of beautiful snow, we just kept on getting sleet with a little snow here and there. We woke up the next morning to a sheet of snowish stuff.... and although you couldn't make a snowball out of it, you can certainly can slide down hills on a Tupperware lid!
Two days later, everything was still a solid sheet of ice, now shiny slick instead of snow-like. The kids had a great time sliding around, even though every one of them should have been completely sore from all the slipping and falling down. We even got out a piece of a salvaged swimming pool liner and slid down the hill on it, which worked pretty well. It wasn't snow, but since it's melting now and we never lost electricity, I can say it was fun nevertheless.
