Waiting desperately for snow

Well, here we are -it's almost December and still no decent snow storms!  All thoughts are turning to Tobogganing; Sledding; Skating; Skiing, Snow Forts -anything....we just need snow!!!
In the meantime -it's pretty chilly (often around 1 walking to school -Pete does that job!!) and here's some snaps of a couple of activities that have kept us busy while we await the snow!!  We have been watching quite a bit of ice hockey -a fabulous fast paced game of skill and pace and a fair bit of aggression!!
Here, Dan is with friends Ben, Jake, Trish and Rob -who will be visiting us in Australia in January.  They are watching a Guelph Storm game.
