More Snow!

It would seem that Mother Nature thinks we here in the Portland area just LOVE snow and can't wait for more of it to come!!

Frankly, she's right. At least in this household...we love the snow! Waking up to a gentle snow globe wonderland outside was so fun, and then to find a burrowing squirrel friend on our back patio...well I had to grab my phone for some silly stop-motion so I could share with you all!


It's short, I know, but the big wind gusts ended up scaring our little furry-tailed friend away, sadly.

Kiddo has been having a bit of cabin fever going on, and finally got to venture the few blocks away to her BFF's house to play in the snow. Of course, now that I've seen her safely there and gotten back to our house myself, I've heard that freezing rain is on the way!! Coating everything in ice makes a snow day NO FUN, you guys. It hurts combined with the wind, and you usually can't get to the snow underneath before the weather changes and it all melts away.

So, I'm thankful Kiddo has had several chances to enjoy the snow and revel in the beauty it brings!

  1. Sounds like I need to move to Portland. We've had so much snow and cold in Indiana that I'm ready to never see it again! Or at least see it a lot less...

    1. We'd love to have you Nic! Just prepare yourself for 8-10 months of the year to be gray and rather damp...if you can deal with that, you'll be just fine here! :)

  2. Yes... it's the ice that really makes winter crappy. Glad you are enjoying your winter weather! I am soooo done with winter.

    1. Hi Sarah, thanks for stopping by!! I'm getting to the point of being done with winter myself. I have a feeling I won't be able to go to work again tomorrow...and I'm at a fairly new job, where I don't have any PTO yet! So, I'm not thrilled with the prospect of losing 2 days of pay this check :( If only it was a job I could do from home!
