A White Christmas

So….we had a minor dusting of snow this weekend.  And by minor dusting, I mean record-breaking accumulation.  I think 23.2 inches was the final count for Philly this weekend.  This made living in a warmer climate like I talked about in my last post more and more appealing.  Nine times out of ten I wouldn’t care about being snowed in with Jay, sitting in front of a fire all weekend, but I was supposed to head to Atlantic City for one of my college roommate’s bachelorette party this weekend – so I’m sad we had to cancel our plans!  Well, I guess it will be kind of cool that we’ll have a white Christmas this year!  Here is the view from one of my front windows…..who else loves my candy cane-esque front porch polls??

If you look on the left side of this picture, you can see that the snow is all the way up to the tippy top of our white fence (a little hard to see with the snow):

But here you can see how tall that fence is!  Craziness.

I took this picture of my car because I thought this looked like a ton of snow.  Little did I know, the next morning the snow would be all the way up to the window of my driver’s side door.  That was fun trying to clear out.

I also had to take a walk in the snow and get some wintery pictures – the walk didn’t last long.  Snow blowing in my face and soaking my camera made it a quick trip:)

Hope everyone stayed safe in the storm – on the bright side, we’ll have a white Christmas!

Joan - I love the snowy pictures! Your porch looks great. If we have bad weather on Christmas and I can’t make it down to your place, I’ll be so upset! I want to see all of your Christmas decorations, especially the mantle! See you Friday (hopefully!)

Lauren - The picture of the wreath on the gate with the freshly fallen snow would make a nice Christmas card.
