Doesn’t this snowman on my porch say it all? As I write this at 2:30 in the afternoon, our temperature is well below freezing. What a change from the beginning of December, or even around Christmas time when I was griping about how warm it is. I like it cold, but this is a bit much. We don’t even have any snow on the ground to make it look pretty. Just cold. Brrrrr!

Last night on the way home from Pumpkin’s dance class we noticed that the Potomac River had frozen. So today we bundled up the children to take a closer look. Even with scarves, mittens and hoods up we were freezing. Phil stayed in the car with the baby.

This is about 3 blocks from our house. It’s the dock that my dad and Boo went fishing from last summer.

Here’s looking down the river towards the Washington Monument (center of picture) the Capitol is just out of view on the right.

Looking straight down from where I was standing.

Looking over at Reagan National Airport. See the plane landing?
