We’ve been bombarded with snow this week. Today’s Saturday, and the first storm was last Sunday night. School was closed for two days, and then another (smaller) storm came in Friday at lunchtime, so all the local schools closed early. My birthday is just a few minutes away now, and yet another snowstorm is set to head our way either tomorrow night or Monday, I think. And here’s the thing we’re learning about Washington–they don’t have a lot of snow plows.

You are the absolute worst.
The end.
Here is a picture of a squirrel in the snow.
The end the end.
So much snow, all of the snow. Three days with everyone snowed in at the house. I’ve made chili, I’ve made pizza, I’ve cleaned, we’ve played, we’ve napped. Jonas dropped 20-some-odd inches of snow in our neighborhood, with crazy snow drifts taller than H. It’s been cozy and also frustrating to be so off our routine. But, the snow play has been well worth it.
We had a small little snowstorm on Sunday, but now it’s Friday night and the eastern seaboard is hunkering down for a giant snowstorm worthy of all the nicknames. Jonas, that scamp.
I loved last weekend. I only left the house to go get some lunch with Adam and H on Saturday. The rest of the weekend was spent inside being a glorious homebody.
Really, this past two weeks.
I ended the last one with a stomach bug, and the bug seems to have revisited me a bit this week. Plus, I had a debilitating migraine on Monday afternoon, which came on as I was driving home in the above freak snowstorm that came out of nowhere and dropped 3″ of snow on my car in a couple of hours. I couldn’t even get up to my mom’s to pick up H, the roads were so bad. So she had a Nana sleepover while I spent almost an hour making my normally 15 minute drive home.
Yesterday we finally woke up to some snow, and now we’re waiting for Winter Storm Juno to pummel the Northeast tomorrow afternoon. My school district has already called an early dismissal for 1pm tomorrow, it’s going to be bad. But yesterday, with the 2 or so inches we got here by the shore, H and I went out for a bit to stomp around in it.

January brought its “A” game this year. It’s normally my least favorite month of the year; I’m over the snow and cold by month’s end, someone in the house almost always gets sick, and it just feels like it goes on forever. The bright spot exception is my very best good friend Laura Ann’s birthday, and I forgot it this year. Go home, January! You’re drunk!
It’s been snowing. Like, all the time.
I just posted some photos last night from our storm week, and it was snowing like crazy. I bundled H into her new snowsuit (if that’s even what you call this), and we took her outside for her first real snow experience.
Mostly because, well…it snowed yesterday.
This is a sad dusting compared to what north Jersey and NY state got. I mean, schools are closed up there and lots of people have no power. It was a gross storm here yesterday, but we kept power. And this was the extent of our snowfall.
