Starting at noon today our area is under a winter storm warning. Yesssssss! I for one am excited. I love snow. The forecasters are predicting anywhere from 8 to 12 inches of frozen fluffy goodness. It has been quite a while since we’ve seen this much snow. There were a couple of days of snow in November where a couple of inches covered the ground. Just enough for a snowball fight and maybe build a miniature snowman. However, today’s snow brings hope of giant snowmen and snow bomb battles. Whoohoo!
In anticipation of said storm, grocery stores are bombarded. Bread, milk and eggs fly off the shelves. The amount of French Toast consumed must be exponentially higher during inclement weather. In our neck of the woods, our road crews are hard at work days before the snow hits. Generally, roads are cleared fairy quickly and we are not “snowed” in. Until the roads are properly cleared and treated, stay home. Let those road crews do their job, they can get it done quicker and more thorough if we stay out of their way.
What should you do on a snow day? Relax. Enjoy the sense of peace that a good snowfall can bring. Step outside and take a deep breath. Grab a magnifying glass and get up close and personal with a snowflake. PLAY. Read a good book. Heck, read a bad book. Snuggle (my favorite). Later today or tomorrow I am hoping to bundle up, get out and take some pictures. I am looking forward to throwing a few snowballs at Noah, and of course dodging some from him. Hopefully, we can build a snowman. Our snowman gear is ready for action. I’m looking forward to making some snow cream just like when I was a child. It is my intention to just enjoy myself and let nature run its course.
Warm wintery wishes on this Friday morning!!!
BE SAFE!!
Take care of you!
