Snow Day!!

It snowed up here a few days before Thanksgiving. I was instantly transformed into a six year old kid again, and it was fabulous!

All my childhood memories came rushing back to me-spending Christmas break applying fake blue nails and watching Twister, only to lose a fake nail in the snow later that day. I remembered playing until long past the point my ice cold fingers would have wanted, only to rush home and dunk them in steaming hot water (which, by the way, I totally don't recommend!).

Just thought I'd share some pictures for those of you still enduring 80+ degree days!

The first day it snowed, it wasn't very sticky, so instead of a snowman I went with a snow angel.


Poor Arizona Freddy the Focus was coooold.


Snowy tree!


Front yard blanketed in snow.


It was cold. Like 22 degrees cold. Snow brings out the Arizona cold weather whiner in me rather quickly, though. Don't get me wrong, I've pretty much been cold here since mid-August. Even at the of July I wore a sweater all day with my shorts and sandals. But give it about 5 minutes of solid snow play and I'm ready to go inside and just look at it through the window. I told my mom the other day that I wanted it to snow again cause I wanted to play in it some more. But then I added that I didn't want to drive in it...or be cold. Something tells me that won't be happening!

  1. Oh my gosh that does sound really cold. Still, the snow looks so pretty. I've never lived in a place with snow before but it sounds like an experience that everyone should have.
