Snow, snow, snow....and more snow!!


I love the smell of the air after a fresh snow. I love the looks of the pristine ground before anyone decides to walk on it leaving a trail of footprints. I love that it makes everything look so clean. But... I hate the fact that I can't drive in it. My car does not have four wheel drive or studded tires so I am a shut in till my hubby can take me where I need to go. He did that Wednesday late afternoon. I managed to get some of my shopping done and I still had a bit to do but he has not been feeling good so we came home. Which really was a smart thing to do since it was starting to get colder again. I awoke the next day and after listening to the news I decided to get going and left for town around nine o'clock. The temperature was a balmy 35 degrees. While I was standing in line at Craft Warehouse a mere forty minutes later I looked out the window to see BIG huge snow flakes coming down and they looked to be sticking. Great, was my first thought but I hung in there and went on to finish my shopping. My last stop was Toys R' Us. Boy, I walked in and suddenly I remembered why I don't like shopping there. There seems to be no rhyme or reason how that store is set up. I finished quickly got back into my car and headed home. My Starbucks coffee was now cold but that is why they made microwaves...
ETA: I took this picture off my front porch looking east. The blue sky is but a memory now. We are expecting at least another four to six inches of snow.
