FREAK JANUARY BLIZZARD HITS BALMY NEW ENGLAND

So...here in New England we expected to have the harsh winters that everyone warned us about. So far, I guess we carried the warm weather from the west with us because we haven't seen much harsh weather. Last year was incredibly mild. This winter we didn't get our first snow until Jan. 18th and you can't even call that much as it was gone by the end of the day. It has snowed once more and it's melted already too. Connor's still waiting for the day when we can build a real snowman but we tried to make do with what we had. We threw a few snowballs and made a tiny snowman (which he promptly knocked over and wanted to do all over again). We really wanted a white Christmas; we may not even get a white January.
