It did snow where we were when I was pregnant with Auds. But we lived over an hour away and this part of the state didn't get any. Still, suffice it to say it doesn't snow often at all. It's a miracle when it does and the entire state shuts down. I mean SHUTS DOWN. Not only are bridges and businesses closed, but the interstates and even small roads are. You can't get anywhere. If you need milk, you're walking and praying the employees walked to work so the store is open.
So it snowed last week! What?! Pipes burst, heaters froze over, people were calling it the snow-pocalypse. We ran our faucets and kept our heater low, so we didn't have any problems, but a lot of people weren't so lucky. The snow lasted on the ground for over 24 hours and it turned into ice and is still in some shady places and on roofs. It's weird to look out and see white instead of brown. Granted, only about an inch or so accumulated on the ground, but that's so rare here!
And miracles, it's supposed to snow again tomorrow!
We only lasted 5 minutes all bundled up last time, so I'm not sure how we'll do tomorrow. But it sure is interesting!
Haha. You guys should come up here and experience an Ohio winter. We're having the worst I've had since my childhood. It's crazy cold and icy everywhere. Schools aren't closing down because of snow, but because it's too cold for children to be outside to wait for the bus. There have been days where being outside for less than five minutes will cause frostbite to any exposed skin, so they can't have kids waiting for buses. Craziness!
ReplyDeleteThe kids probably loved that snow. They would lose their minds up here wading around up to their waists in it!!
You guys probably don't even keep snowsuits or boots, do you? I need to move to Louisiana!!!!
Also, I adore your scarf. You look like the Doctor ;)
