Here’s the thing about the snowiest of snowy January’s – ugh. Everyone in the city is dressed in the same uniform: puffy coats, hoods / hats, thickly wrapped scarves, gloves, umbrellas and snow / rain boots. It’s been literally impossible to wear much else. No one talks. They are too cold. Or annoyed by all the puffiness that makes it difficult to maneuver tight spaces such as subways.
If it wasn’t snowing, then melty slushy mess had accumulated at every intersection. If you weren’t wearing rain boots, good luck walking anywhere. Unless of course you’d like to get your leather boots all wet and yucky. Which I did several times this month. I underestimated the slushiness. Any day I didn’t wear my pink flowery Liberty of London rain boots, I instantly regretted the decision as I hit my first intersection.
As a result of this month, I have endless snowy pics on my iPhone. All different days. All different snow storms. They were weekly.
Last week, we got a record-setting 19 inches of snow on Wednesday. Thursday morning I woke up to gorgeous blue skies, massive heaps of powdery fresh snow on the streets and the office closed. The 2nd Snow Day of the year already. I had a lot of work to do and a presentation to give. Slightly annoying…but wait, what am I saying…SNOW DAY!
What exactly does one Texas transplant do on a Snow Day? Hmmm…tough one.
THIS! Naturally.
off to the park with Bethany and Susan
pink rain boots are more fun
we headed straight for the swings
where there maaaaay have been casualties
and snow angels!
1-2-3...GO!
bahaha...they are braver than me!
stuck
and she's up...
wait...nope!
snow up to the benches
and snow covering cars, that's a lotta snow
I think the happiness of this snowy day canceled out most of the dreary snowy sadness I had from the rest of the month.
Thanks for redeeming yourself January.
best snow day ever!!
