Today was a snowy day

It's heeere.  The powdery white stuff finally arrived in Arlington early this morning.

My apartment complex was cov-ered.

I have a feeling it's going to be a love/hate relationship this winter.

Things I ♥ so far about snow:

-How peaceful everything looks blanketed in white.

-Bundling up in my cozy down jacket and walking around town.

-Christmas song lyrics = totally coming true [It is a Winter Wonderland!].

-Seeing the faces of little kids [and big kids at heart] light up with excitement as they run around & scoop up big glovefuls.

-Snowball fights.

-Looking outside my office window and seeing the eager middle schoolers eating snow off the picnic tables for lunch. Priceless.

-Snow days. Although there was major snowfall today, unfortunately, school was not canceled. But here's hoping we'll have one soon.

 Snowy day as viewed from my office window.

Things I don't like so much:

-How slippery the roads are.
-The added 20+ minutes it takes to get anywhere.
-My poor Corolla wasn't made for this. At all.
-How slippery the sidewalks are.
-Skidding into curbs at stop signs on uncleared roads. [Don't worry, Mom & Dad, the car & I are both fine.]
-Fun events canceled because of the gross, icy roads.

So is this Florida Girl prepared for all the snow we're going to get this winter? Umm, hardly.  Will it be a great, experience of a lifetime? Absolutely.

Stay warm & carry gloves,

Lorin
