The Last Snowfall

Cloudsdale sent us a fresh blanket of snow this morning. It's true that it had been a while since the last snowfall and Fluttershy pointed out that the mice need the snow to be thick enough to keep their subnivean playground from getting exposed to the colder surface air, but Winter Wrap Up is just a week away. Even though it seems strange to get fresh snow this late, it's about this time every year that Cloudsdale gets down to clearing out their snow flake bins. Rainbow Dash says that Ponyville was near the end of Cloudsdale's route this time around, but we're not the last. The snowflakes they left us are mostly a jumble of bits and pieces. They don't glitter much, but for Dash and Pinkie, they spell one last chance to go sledding in fresh powder before spring. So after lunch, Spike and I got out our gear and plowed our way through the white stuff to join our friends for a few hours of wild rides down the sledding hill.
