Longing for a Blizzard

It's getting to be LATE November and still no snow to speak of. This is getting weird, people! We usually have at least a decent snow by now … and still nothing. Usually I want the white stuff for skiing, but they do not advocate women in a family way do the skiing thing, so I am looking for it for another reason: I want to get snowed in.

That's a bizarre request I know, but I have mixed feelings about snow. I don't really like to drive in it, walk through it or deal with it (unless skiing is involved), but I love to look at it. But what I do love to do is sit at home in the comfort of my cozy house and watch it … falling and falling and falling. I would be annoyed if the power went out, I suppose (though this is hard in our 'hood since the linses are buried).

And I must confess that the allure of forced leisure time at home with my favorite humans and canine after the stress of the past couple of weeks holds a helluva lot of charm for me.

I'm sure I'll take this all back if it actually snows. Happy Friday, y'all.

P.S. That photo is of Loki in our winter o' blizzards two years ago!

  1. too funny we have had snow twice where it has stuck to the ground and you really haven't had it lol… but i didn't know you couldn't ski when you are pregnant… all well means you can be a cute snow bunny in the lodge hehehe…

  2. Take the next flight out to upstate NY. We've got plenty of snow here! I'm with you, though. I like looking at it, and playing with Isabella in it, but definitely not driving in it.

  3. I gotta say – a little snow in does sound pretty good…at least until I remember that babies do not 'get' inclement weather and would have me and their mamas out driving around in it. No thanks.
