I can finally talk about it...

{but first...textures are so cool}

okay

maybe I'm being a little dramatic

but

they declared it the worst storm in 33 years

and

when the university of wisconsin madison

shuts down

~which hasn't happened in 20 years~

well then

you know it's bad

~~

depending on what station you listened to

~when it was all over~

15.8 to 17.2 inches of snow fell in our area

in a very short time

and

then the wind showed up causing blizzard like conditions

then

our temperature dropped to -20

~

all of that in 48 hours

~~

party

the first photo

is our screened-in porch

which didn't take too much of a hit

but

the deck on the left side

still has at least a foot of snow on it

~~

after shoveling

and

watching my son do the snow blowing

I came inside and stripped off my wet layers

but

left my crazy leggings and socks on

just because the colors made me smile

I opened up the door in our bedroom

that leads to the above mentioned deck

just to take some snow photos

and

look at what mother nature had blessed me with

a snow heart

~you can see it can't you~

and

by the end of the day

I was still in my leggings but the socks had changed

~~

when you track in snow

and

your son tracks in snow

and

your dog tracks in snow

it's a given that your feet are going to get wet

and

you'll need a dry pair of socks
