Friday night Massachusetts once again got slammed with another wintery North Eastern storm, blanketing 9 inches of fresh snow all over Boston and surrounding cities. I was saddened, but not surprised, to find that no signification swell activity was in the forecast, so I reserved myself for another weekend of hibernation and inactivity. Not to be bested by the elements, however, my roommate suggested that get our sorry butts out of the house and go sledding, whether we had sleds or not. So we decided to go for it and it ended up being one of the funnest winter days I've had in Boston to date.
Bryce and I, equipted with snow boards and surf boards, drove over and picked up David and Emily and headed off to a local school yard which had some fun hills. When we pulled up there were kids everywhere pulling sleds and swoshing down the slopes. We knew it was going to be awesome once we pushed the little kids out of the way. For about 30 mins Bryce, David and I took turns dropping into steep ones on my surf board (with the skegs removed). Then David started building a snow ball, which eventually became a bolder too heavy for 4 men to push. The Bolder got so big it broke into three large pieces from which we assembled the sweetest snowman in Watertown. When the kids all saw the snowman taking shape they came running trying to help us build him. We told them to get away but they didn't. Oh well, It was a fun time anyway.

So fun! I wish I could play in the snow. Only for an afternoon though, I wouldn't want it to stick around for much more than that:)
That is such a good idea... if you can't surf in the ocean just do it on the snow!
