We had snow for the entire first week of February. The first snow is always very exciting. One doesn't mind being hunkered down and cozy at home but by day 2 I'm already over the cold white stuff then apprehension hits when I know I have to drive out in it. I lived in TX and we went through a few harsh winters so I have experienced driving in hazardous conditions. Nerve-wracking!
It does look pretty doesn't it?
A few of those days Riley had late start. It began to snow again just before school released for the day.
Sydna works in Bellevue which is 30/40 minutes North of home, depending on traffic and during these hazardous conditions I can't help but be concerned for her safety. It's a relief once we're all home safe. By the time she got home the driveway was covered in snow so we had Nathan clear it out for her since it slopes a bit and she would have slid backwards.
By nightfall everything was covered in snow.
It's always fun for kids to shovel snow ... not so much for the adult back there. We could never live in Northern NY. No doubt we would hate it.
Our street gets pretty bad when it snows or ices over because we live on a hill and that makes driving or even walking very dangerous. However, once you make it out of our street the main streets are usually fine. After being stuck at home for several days we headed out to grab some lunch. When it comes to food we're known to go to great distances or brave bad weather for it. We take quality food very seriously, lol!
Carne Asada tacos ... ridiculously delicious!!
Once the snow stopped it took about five days for the snow to melt. Church was even cancelled. Unheard of (fast forward to March, April, May/2020 to where we are currently living this ridiculous nightmare called Covid-19 which was created in Wuhan China and the Democrats and media causing panic and still reporting Fake News. Small businesses are closed, malls are closed, dentists, beaches, state parks and playgrounds. Ridiculous! Nothing they are doing makes any sense! And it's the Governors that are acting like tyrants. Open America now!!!)
Snowy nights are cozy though. Cold weather is perfect to cozy up on the couch or in bed at night with a good book ... but it sure makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning.
What good is the warmth of summer
without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.
