Sledding Etiquette Question
Being a native Californian, there are still some things about this weather I don't completely have down. Granted, I was mighty proud that we're now sturdy enough to spend a couple hours out in the snow for no other reason than building snowmen, engaging in snowball fights and sledding - but I was really surprised how few other people were doing the same in Prospect Park yesterday afternoon. It was actually in the 30s with no wind - one of the nicer days we've had this week. There were people in the park playing football, jogging and walking their crazy dogs, but we only saw two other people with sleds the entire time we were out.

So it got me wondering - did we violate some sort of snow etiquette about going out too soon? We had full reign of all the best hills - but were we supposed to let it get more packed with snow before sledding down? Or are we just that much tougher than the pansies in our neighborhood?
