Starting December 1st we got our first snow, and it has been a winter wonderland here in Illinois ever since. I forgot how much I enjoyed shoveling the sidewalk. I may feel differently come February....but for now it is still a fun novelty after 6 years of living in warm climates.
This is a random group of students out on the trail. It has been bitterly cold and if it weren't for the snow the students would probably be pretty miserable outside in classes all day. I think the snow ends up being more of a distraction (in a good way) for them then the cold. It also means that we can teach them cross country skiing and snow shoeing as part of their classes. It has been really fun teaching and watching kids try these things for the first time. It reminds me of the first time that I tried them and fell in love with winter sports and playing in the snow.
