On Saturday night we got a nice little surprise! SNOW! I was so excited for this little Winter treat that we got up early Sunday morning and took Olive out to play and take pictures. She loved it. If you follow me on Instagram you might have already seen a few pictures but here are the ones that I got with the 60D. I just realized my camera needs a name.... maybe Dolly. Yes, I think I like that... Dolly it shall be!
Action shot of her eating the snow. Baby bear loves eating snow.
Oh how I love my little model. I'm so glad we got up early before all the footprints ruined the fresh snow. There is nothing I love more than taking Olive out to play. Her little belly gets covered with ice cycles and if there has been several inches of snow she has to literally jump in order to walk. It is by far the cutest thing I have ever seen.
Snow just makes everything look magical. The world always seems quieter covered in snow. All you hear is the soft crunch of it under your feet and when you look around everything just seems fresh, crisp, and clean.
Well, I have now experienced my first "real" northern snow.
Here are the highs and lows of now being a northerner':
Highs:
It's so pretty!
It's so fun to play in!
Olive looooves it!
Makes you wanna drink hot coco!
And take lots of pretty pictures:
This was some full on SNOW. I'm talking those pretty, fluffy, big, and yummy snowflakes that are powder thin. Although, they do cause a bit of a ruckus when one tries to go into work on a Monday morning - which brings me to the lows.
The Lows:
Roads turn to ICE
Cars fishtail and slide everywhere
You will fall when you try and walk outside
Olive will never want to come inside again and begs to be let out every 5 mins so she can go and eat the snow while it drops from the sky. Check out the Video:
Your car will be buried under 10inches of ice and snow
Your hands will freeze from trying to get said snow and ice off your car
You will NOT make it up the big ass hill on the way to work.
You WILL have to call your coworkers telling them to come rescue you from said hill
They will make fun of you for driving a Honda and being from MS.
You will get asked, "Not trying to be an ass but have you ever Seen snow before?"
Why no! I thought the world was ending again my bad.
But Alas, I made it to work and this is what my view looked like from my building:
Baby it's cold outside.
All in all I refuse to drive to work again while there is any snow and/or ice on the road so if we have to work tomorrow (we are supposed to be getting more snow and ice tonight) then one of my coworkers with 4 wheel drive will be coming to pick me up.
In other news, I've started counting calories again and working out more. It's time to drop some weight and get in shape I'm 25 now...it's all down hill from here and I'd like to weigh less going down said hill so it won't go by as fast.
