You live under a rock if you didn't hear about last weekend's Winter Storm Jonas. We were hoping for a bit more of a blast than we got, but were pleasantly surprised to see the snow blowing around for as long as it did.
Friday afternoon, we got big fluffy clumpy flakes for about an hour before the rains came and washed it all away. Super bummer. We kinda figured that was it. We live a few miles from the beach, but also on the south-west edge of town (schools, target & the rest of VB to the north & east, soybean & corn fields to the south & west), so we weren't sure where we fell exactly on the snow predictions. Plus, the forecast kept changing. Z and I rushed outside to enjoy the snow while we could.
The kid has been wishing for snow since Christmas, so her mind was pretty blown with just that little dusting. But when she woke up on Sunday, after it had blown and flurried all night, her head pretty much exploded with joy! She stood at the back sliders and shouted, "Look at all dat snow!" It was maybe 2-3 inches, but it might as well have been 3 feet! We immediately got dressed and went out to play. But cold fingers had her back inside after just a few minutes.
So we took a break for breakfast, fingers crossed that the snow hadn't completely melted while we were out. (It was all pretty much gone by 10am. Good thing we got an early start!) Then we headed outside for a little snowman building and snowball fighting. Z was beside herself and has asked for snow just about every day since. Hate to tell her it'll be almost 70 next week. Boo!
Someone please get us some sunnies!!
Hope our northern friends have finally dug out from the snow drifts and also hoping our Florida friends are staying dry.
That Gator Gnome looks cold. Just saying'!
