Well, Saturday was fun!

We had a blizzard here with continuous snow fall from early early morning until late afternoon. My husband and I didn't  even consider venturing outside! The roads were way too slick, and the snow plows couldn't keep up with the snow. No sooner had they finished clearing the road then snow piled up over their work.

I didn't mind staying in, though.  I exercised to an aerobics DVD, which was a fun change of pace from my usual elliptical workout. And I admit, I enjoyed watching big, white flakes of snow falling to the ground en masse, being blow around by gusts of wind. It was kind of exciting, in a way!

View from my "backyard."

When the all-day snow storm had passed, I went outside to take some pictures. I loved how the world looked fresh and untarnished with a layer of untrodden, white snow. When I stepped onto our front walkway, my foot sank into the snow deeper than I had anticipated. I felt cold, wet snow up to my calves, but I just giggled like a little kid. Here I was, outside in 18-degree weather with the wind whipping around my hair, no jacket or gloves, ankle-deep in snow, and a camera around my neck! I imagine I was a curious sight!

I discovered this interesting snow formation from the roof. The picture is through the upstairs window (best way to see it), so it isn't the clearest. Hopefully you get the idea, though. It reminded me of white bed sheets; really it did! It also looked like frosting on a cake.

This is what I saw when I opened the back door. The snow had blown up against the house and still remained in its position without the door supporting it. I thought it was rather amusing (I seem to be amused by little things, don't I)!

I hope you had a drier (and SAFE) weekend. Hopefully winter got the cold and snow out of its system and will make way for gentler weather. March came in like a lion and will go out like a lamb - isn't that how the saying goes?
