Winter makes a (short lived) appearance

This weekend we had a few inches of snow fall in Astoria - the first time since late October in fact!  It's supposed to be back to the low 50s by tomorrow, but it was nice to see Astoria turn white for a weekend and bundle up to walk around and see the neighborhood in a different season.  My highlight was seeing all of the neighborhood kids enjoying playing in the snow.  Astoria isn't a hilly area, but nevertheless the park near our apartment was filled with screaming kids enjoying the snow and pulling each other across the flat playground with their sleds!  Definitely a big difference from my childhood sledding experiences (my own front yard or trekking up the street to the big hill suitably named devil's dive), but I was glad to see the excitement of a snowy day in the city!
