So this morning Joey texts me & says that we're supposed to get up to 10cm(about 4 inches) of snow today & that it had already started at his work (which is about 15 minutes away). It hadn't started at the apt yet, until he sent that text. Then it started snowing. And snowing...and snowing some more. I thought maybe we would get a light covering..nah.. we got a good 4-5 inches! But it is beautiful snow! The perfect snowman building snow. I wish my niece Sydney & nephew Rhyler could be here to play in it. :) Sydney is 3, and I've been sending her short video messages showing her fun stuff around the neighborhood, and showed her Brutus playing in the snow earlier today. She LOVES Brutus, and I do believe he has currently out ranked me! Lol. I wish Rhyler was old enough to understand where I am & videos also, but he's just 1.
The snow is bittersweet for me. Being a Texan, we see snow maybe once, maaaybe twice a winter. In the winter of 2010-11 we had a week where we were "snowed in" with a good 6-7 inches of snow & ice. Of course Joey just rolled his eyes & thought it was insane that the state of Texas practically shut down for a week because of a few inches of snow. Lol. I had to remind him several times that week that we all aren't Canadian. This 2011-2012 winter it snowed one evening, not even an inch & was melted in 12 hours. I love a good snow at least once a winter. It's a change for us, and absolutely beautiful when it sticks. So when I left on March 15th from Texas to move to Edmonton, I was leaving gorgeous 80F degrees & a beautiful spring coming along. Then I woke up this morning to 27F & ended the day with 5 inches of snow. Haha. Like I said, it's bittersweet. But I am trying to keep positive about the cold, and enjoy the snow. Brutus was feelin frisky this evening when we went out for a potty break, I wish I could have caught it on camera! I will definitely try tomorrow, bc it is a sight to see. :) Earlier today I went on a little nature walk in the woods behind the house, and took a few photos of the pretty snow! Here ya go!
The view from our living room...not a bad gig, eh? ;)
