Snow Day

A child's worst nightmare after a snowfall! 😬

When the plow made its way through the neighborhood, every kid knew their return to school wasn't far behind! 😮‍💨❄️

Treacherous

Many of you know I like to go for walks, but after it snows, venturing out can be a bit dicey...especially when you come across a neighbor that has yet to clear off their walkways. 😬

I've slipped and fallen enough times in treacherous conditions to think twice about walking outside...at least until all the snow and ice has melted. 🤕👟

Frozen Snow

This is something a lot of people in our area experienced the last couple weeks!

Some people, for various reasons, don't venture out to shovel snow right away. With our temps below freezing, it doesn't take long for the snow to freeze! Instead of SHOVELING snow, you end up CHIPPING away on a block of ice! 🥶🧊

Car Door

Why as kids did we always race to the car? We'd run to the car and get there well before our parents, only to be forced to wait for them to unlock and open each door for us. 🥶

Thankfully, we now have car remotes that can unlock our car doors before we even REACH the car. 😅🔑🚗

Sweater

With single pane windows, our family house would get bitterly chilly during the winter. My mother's solution when we'd complain about being cold..."put on a sweater!"

The sweaters that she'd get me were those double stitched type, though, and they itched terribly. Either I suffered through the cold, or I'd itch all day! 😖

Salt

Something else that I struggle to deal with when we get a decent accumulation of snow and ice...tracking snow and salt into the house on my shoes!

It can be a challenge to keep the carpets clean and debris-free throughout the winter! 😮‍💨🥾❄️

Shovel

What are your plans this weekend? Me...🥶❄️⛄️

I can't say shoveling snow is a favorite pastime of mine, but it's arguably worse when the snow clumps up, and you end up having to move BOULDERS of snow at a time! 😮‍💨
