That's what the Mr declared it since we got a small blanket of snow overnight into Monday. While we weren't as lucky as our second home of Stowe, Vermont...
...we at least had enough to go play in and wanted to get out there before noon and people started brining their dogs to the park. The Mr grabbed our trekking poles for an upper body workout and our snow sneakers and away we went.
We didn't think there was enough of a base for our snow shoes because we knew from being out in it the night before there was a layer of ice under there and the metal cleat can sometimes slip on ice so this was the safer bet.
There was a bird meeting going on down by the creek.
We enjoyed mostly having the trail to ourselves until the final round.
When we got back, it was time for lunch the only way a snow day should be done while our wet pants dried by the fire:
Snowy days were made for grilled cheese and soup! (If you need some warm fuzzies)
A week or so ago, we enjoyed coloring a little and lamented over the bleed from modern coloring books so I surprised the Mr with some vintage Star Wars books for him and Peanuts for me.

Later that evening, we headed back to the park because I always said when there's snow, we're going to do a fire and that's what we did.
I won't say it's the warmest we've ever been since the wind was in full effect the whole time and I'm pretty sure the Mr was cursing me under his breath but we did it so there's that. As soon as we got home, I hopped right into the shower to wash off the campfire smoke and warm up. Pretty sad when hot water on your skin runs cold off of you. We turned on the fireplace and cozied in for the rest of the night and made the most of our snow day from beginning to end since it'll be gone tomorrow.
Anyone else get snow?

It was an awesome day. It really did feel, at times, like the best snow day off school or something and I am glad we took full advantage of it all. That was quite a workout too so it was a healthy jaunt in the snow too!
ReplyDeleteWe got a combination of rain, freezing rain, and snow on the weekend. Because of that mix we lost power on Saturday for almost the full day. We spend that day shoveling the foot of snow we got on top of the ice and trying to keep the house and our reptile pets as warm as possible. Sunday was the time we got to enjoy the snow. I broke out my snow shoes for the first time this winter and the dog had a blast playing/jumping in the snow with us. Rain came Monday so what is left of the snow isn't much fun anymore, just slippery.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun day! Glad you got to be out in the white stuff with glee! We have snow here from last week but yesterday's temps melted quite a bit of it (our front yard has almost no snow now while the front and side yard has lots still). We are now in cold temps through the end of the month, with below zero nights, but no snow forecasted again except possibly Monday.
