I LOVE SNOW. SNOWY SNOWY SNOW. SO MUCH SNOW. DOWN IN MY YARD. LOVE IT SO MUCH.
The East Coast got SLAMMED with a blizzard this past weekend and Brian, Remmy and I LOVED IT. Yes, we love snow. Maybe a little too much. Blizzard, oh heck yes — bring it on!
We were prepared. We set up our tape measure, ran to the store for a few essentials and hunkered down.
One of our favorite things to do in a blizzard is to go out and walk through the snow as it is coming down. We took the pup out on Saturday to see the state of the roads and how much snow we’d gotten — it was an adventure. We walked maybe 1/4 mile total, and it was exhausting!
The roads = terrible! And the snow banks were crazy.
Brian was able to stand on the snow and poke his head over the safety fence overlooking the highway. It was incredible.
The highway was crazy, and our neighborhood was crazy. IT WAS CRAZY.
We even snuck down onto the highway since no one was on it.
How often can you stand in the middle of a busy road with not a soul in sight? Crazy and oddly peaceful.
All in all, we got about 2 feet of snow, three days off work, one craft completed and one project underway! That was a productive weekend.
Brian and I have enjoyed being snow bunnies and Remmy has enjoyed rocketing through the snow at breakneck speeds. The shoveling was rough (especially when your shovel breaks), but hey, good exercise! The roads are still a little rocky, but that’s to be expected when a blizzard hits a region that some winters doesn’t get any snow at all. Fingers crossed and pajamas on backward that we get at least one more good snow this winter!
Did you have fun during the East Coast Blizzard of 2016?
