Snowedin

Even if we only ended up with about an inch and a half of fluff, it was still very cool to see snow finally coming down. It really helps break up the monotony of this cold and mostly dry pattern we’ve been stuck in for the last couple weeks. And it’s barely enough to have to worry about shoveling. A big win all around imo.

Ok, wind you can chill the f out now..we get it polar vortex, you want us to suffer whenever we dare step outdoors. But you know it’d be really friggin cool if you know, you could just calm it down for an hour, capiche?

Believe me my friend, it has started to cross my mind quite a bit in recent years. Half my family has already made the move and in all honesty, I might just end up doing the same before long. These skinny bones can’t handle the cold like they used to. I still love a good old fashioned powdery snowstorm on the odd occasion but my youthful enthusiasm for long winters has sadly started to wane in recent times. Don’t let my warm bias kill the rejuvenated spirit around these parts. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such well placed enthusiasm for actual winter threats on this humble board!

Can we just stop for a bit and appreciate how nice it felt out there today. I probably had the nicest walk since last September with no wind, a little bit of sun and even a slight trickle of sweat on my forehead after coming back. I know the snow is cool and all but man the vibe is just so different when it’s like this outside. I hope everyone got a chance to enjoy it even for just a little while. It really takes the edge off during the darkest of days!

Pass that bong right over here Jeb. I want a hit of what you’re smoking homie.

This f’ing blows. It’s too cold to do anything out unless you enjoy the feeling of freezing your balls off. It does feel like winter, I’ll give y’all that much. At least the daylight (the part that matters) is slowly swinging in the other direction, thank the lord for that!

Still raining lightly here with a few sleet pellets mixed in. I’m perfectly with an all rain event right now with all the wrapping and cleaning up done around the house today. Let’s save that crap for after Christmas please. Very nice pics from everyone else btw, enjoy the white magic!

That’s not what she said..

Stay safe out there! (For real though)

I tell ya, it felt pretty damn nice walking outside earlier in a light jacket without feeling the sting of the cold and wind in my face. I know its not to be expected this time of year but man I don’t how anyone truly enjoys freezing their balls off in the bitter cold, without the snow to brighten the landscape. I think the little yipper appreciates the brief reprieve too..lots of long sniffs on the side of the road during our walk!

We’ve clearly got the cold, now where’s the friggin snow to go with it! I’ve had this same existential dread since I was a kid this time of year lol.

Glad we don’t have those problems..for now

Stay safe out there!

Wild out there..winds are whipping and rain blowing sideways. On the plus side, it actually feels pretty nice out between downpours. Are we sure it’s not mid April right now?

Where was all this consistent moisture two months ago when I was outside watering nearly everyday trying to salvage the last tumbleweeds on deaths door on the front lawn? It always seems to come when you least expect it or even want it lol. But hey, better late than never I suppose.
