  1. Thanks Jess for sharing. I am a native Texan and it rarely snows where we are. I started shivering just watching your video. The snow is so beautiful, and the Texas heat can be so brutal, but having to go outside and do anything, I can’t imagine. I admire the ones who live up north and have to do ANYTHING outside. I know the boys had a blast! ❤️✝️🙏

  2. Ohhhh I could tell by the sound of the snow under your feet how cold it was. And like someone else said, that snow won't make a good snowball let alone a snowman. Jess, you're very brave, Im in NW Ohio and we're having a very cold winter, and I don't go out unless I have to. I'll take our 100° summer ANY DAY🥶🥶🥶🥶

  3. How fun!!! I feel Toby's dilemma.We are in Western NY where we get Lake effect snow that oscillates off Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Yes, it is snowing even now. We have had mild winters for quite a few years, but THIS YEAR we are back to our normal SNOW SNOW SNOW and single digit temps. Our windchill is -24*F tonight and I am taking time to rest and stay inside….learning all I can to prep for Spring, and yes, counting down the days!!!!

  4. The sound of crunching in the snow…it's like nails on a chalkboard. Love your videos though😊

  5. Oh so nice to see you in Vt. Sorry the snow wasn’t snowman or snow ball ready. I call it styrofoam snow…. But it’s not so heavy when dry, to shovel. That hill is great for sledding.

  6. Love the video! So weird seeing you at Goldshaw Farm though haha. We’re from the north and LOVE this weather. We would be struggling at your place Jess! Haha❤️

  7. Here in Wisconsin, in January the temps are always somewhere between 0° and -10°, with the average cold temps going as low as -25°F not including windchill. In 2019 we had nearly a full month of January that the temps were -25° just about everyday, and then when we got to February it warmed up but we also got 12+ inches of snow for 20 of the 29 days. It was crazy. Let me tell you, as a kid I always wondered what it was like when Laura engalls wilder lived in WI, and that year we found out. lol.

  8. Tobogganing is definitely one of those things every child should get to experience, it's also great for wearing the kids out so they sleep LOL. It's quite the workout getting those toboggans up hills with all that clothing on. Worth every bit of it though. Nice to see the kids having such a blast in the snow. Too bad it wasn't better packing snow for snowman building.
