While a lot of folks back in the US of A are preparing for sand…
We were waking up to snow!
The forecasts called for it, but I didn’t believe it. (I’m a weather skeptic.)
When I moved from Michigan (land of snow forts and puffy jackets) to Texas (land of deserts and cowboys) in 1994, I started wishing for snow on my birthday every year.
It’s probably no surprise that I never got that wish. Until now. Sure, it’s two days late and it took 18 years to happen, but I’ll take it as an answered birthday wish all the same.
Thank you, birthday gods, for the first snow of the year!*
I think I’d be happy with snow only on my birthday. I love it for a day or two, but then I am totally over it. The weather this week has been crazy. Here in Ohio we had two 80 degree days in a row (now it’s freezing).
80 degrees! I’m trying to wrap my head around that. Haha! I hate it when weather varies so much. I just want to pull out my winter clothes and stick with those for a few months. I don’t want to have to dig out shorts on randomly warm days.*
Is this Geronimo’s first time in the snow?
Even though he’s spent his whole life until now in Texas, he’s actually seen a fair amount of snow. He loves sticking his noes in it, running away, and repeating.*
Brr!! Is it normal to have snow that early in the year there?
We’re dealing with winds from Sandy, but nothing major since it’s off the coast of FL. I’m more worried about friends and family up in NC, VA/DC, and NJ/NY!
I don’t know if it’s normal, but we are required to have snow tires on our cars by November 1st, so maybe!
Glad Sandy isn’t causing you any trouble. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it ends up being not as bad as predicted.*
YAY!! I’m so glad you are enjoying the flakes over there. I have only gone one winter (last year) without snow and it was so sad. Enjoy it!!!
We were in Nuremberg yesterday and the entire time it was freezing and snowing. Ugh. I was so cold!!! Better get used to it….
Love the picture of Geronimo in the snow. He looks like a child playing around!!!
Sandy is about to crush us in South Central PA. I would swap the hurricane for a blizzard ANY day.
I love watching dogs in snow. It’s hilarious! Especially when they “attack” it!
He totally attacks the snow! I never thought of it like that before, but it’s the perfect description!*
