I have wanted a snow day like this for 3 years now! I live in Ohio near the lake and my entire life we have always had snow like your picture. Three years ago I bought my first four wheel drive (Jeep) and couldn’t wait to try it out. Well, not one day have I needed it!!!! What a difference each side of the lake makes. Lol
In back country Minnesota we got all that snow on dirt roads which had frozen up in tire tracks underneath, which will throw a vehicle off the road by surprise ~ right into the equally snow filled six foot drainage ditches on either side. Nobody got through the winter without getting pulled out at least once…
Thank you, Thomas. What I wouldn’t give for 75 degrees here. But, you know, I’m just used to the snow conditions, so I’m really not that bothered by it.
Oh no…follow that car!!! 🚗🚙🚚 You captured beauty and mystery all in one shining moment ChickieDee. And if those lights you’re following are no longer red and turn white, well Houston, we have a problem!!! 😍😲😜
Don’t you just love the snow? Big fat snowflakes, gently falling, covering everything in clean, clear, white…We got a big dump of it yesterday, about 25 cm. I just had to go outside and take it all in… I love the snow!
We had such situation many years ago. It began with some snowflakes and turned into a snowstorm. Hubby, the kids and i were on the highway, heading home after spending the afternoon with my parents. We barely saw the lights before us and passing through snowddrifts carefully. But no a single light to see after us. The highway had become impassable and we were one of the last cars coming through. Many other drivers got stuck and had to wait for hours until snow removal vehicles arrived. There isn’t much snow in my area and I enjoy it most of the time. Cars weren’t allowed to drive for days back then and we went shopping with our kids with a sleigh. They still remember that. Stay safe and warm. 🐈
Oh, wow, that sleighing through the snow sounds amazing! I’m so glad you shared this memory with me. I remember in the later 70s, I was about 8, I think, when it snowed clear up past our front window and door and Dad had to shovel us out. lol I have a picture of it somewhere.
Such a charming smile! 🙂 We sometimes play those road games in Ontario too. Not recently, thank goodness! Hope you don’t get deluged with a ton of snow!

I have “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria” stuck in my head, and it kind of fits with, “How Do You Solve a Problem, like WordPress.?” lol I hope you don’t get deluged with a ton of snow either! I imagine the conditions where you live are worse than ours at times.
Hi, Destiny! You are right about that! lol But I really do love it. There’s nothing prettier than waking up in the morning and seeing a beautiful snowfall. This is a really heavy, wet snow that’s good for building snowmen and tunnels. 😀
They are a lot of fun. I always had trouble keeping my kids indoors during the winter months. They would dig tunnels all throughout the yard. lol The only time they weren’t outside was during school or when there was a frostbite advisory. 😀
LOLOL You’d get used to it. You learn to compensate for slippery conditions and which way to turn your wheel if you’re sliding or about to take a spin. LOL 😀
Thank you so much! You made me laugh just then. 😀 For me, it’s just beautiful and while the gray skies can wear on you, I still like it. By March, I’m pretty done with it, but it’s not always done with us. haha
Happy timezones, Friends! Wherever you are, whatever weather you are having, I hope you are well! Stay safe and warm!

All that snow looks so beautiful!!!! This makes me miss it!
I like snow, but definitely not when I’m driving. Snow days are best for reading!
I couldn’t agree with you more, Teri. 🙂 xo

LOL You are so right about that. 😀 🤍🌺 I hope you have this, but in a good way, so you can try out your Jeep. 😀 xo
We play the same game here in Indiana, only not as often.
LOL I’ve lived in Indiana, and can vouch for that. 😀
Be safe! Driving through snow is scary.
Thank you so much, Dawn.
Looks like a real white out. It is so warm here right now, our snow is all but gone. Have a great Wednesday. Allan
Thank you, Allan. I hope you are having a terrific week!
The good news is that you shouldn’t suffer drought issues this summer, lol
Hi, Jacquie! Haha I bet you’re right! 😀

Hi, Ana. Oh, yes, those dirt roads are the worst in the winter! Until we moved here, we lived on a dirt road and it was not fun at all.
I know what you mean about nobody getting through the winter without getting pulled out at least once. That’s sooooo true!
They’ll hold it over your head for the rest of the season, too…
Right on.
🙄
Those are great photos. We currently have 75 degrees here in Dallas. We call it “am I on the road” – LOL

It’s a great game. LOLOLOL

LOL I’m glad you liked this Chickienoodle! That would definitely be a problem. LOL
Guurrrllllll…and you know it! 😜😲🤣
I grew up in Detroit and went to college I’m Michigan so I know those games well.
Yep, you know exactly how to play this game. LOL Do you play Euchre by any chance? The Mister and a few of his friends played the other night.
Did in college.

I do love it, that’s true. And this is good packing snow, great for building snowmen and tunnels. 😀

beautiful to see….freezing to feel I suspect 😬
lovely captures, Kymber. 🤍

sounds so nice.. no snow where I live so no experience there… but it does look so pretty…and to those snowmen… delightful it must be to build 😁
They are a lot of fun. I always had trouble keeping my kids indoors during the winter months. They would dig tunnels all throughout the yard. lol The only time they weren’t outside was during school or when there was a frostbite advisory. 😀
so cute …and keeping you busy too lol… and watching them you wonder if they ever feel cold 😁
wonderful memories too 🤍
That’s so true. 🙂 Wonderful memories.
I would make them hot chocolate with marshmallows. I think they looked forward to that, but even so, it was hard to get them to come in. haha
thank you for sharing, Kymber.
a peep into your cosy memories… lovely 🌹
Beautifulness.
Thank you so much. I think it’s beautiful, too.
Of course, only so long as I had nowhere to be. I don’t think I could ever drive in the snow. I can barely drive in L.A.
LOLOL You’d get used to it. You learn to compensate for slippery conditions and which way to turn your wheel if you’re sliding or about to take a spin. LOL 😀
Very pretty pictures. But I think it should only snow in August. It’s much warmer then.
Thank you so much! You made me laugh just then. 😀 For me, it’s just beautiful and while the gray skies can wear on you, I still like it. By March, I’m pretty done with it, but it’s not always done with us. haha
Winter wonderland, so pretty, but looks so cold! Hope you’re keeping warm! 🙂
It’s definitely a winter wonderland, and I love it. 😀 It is definitely cold, that’s for sure. 🙂
Look at those rosy cheeks!
LOL It’s so cute. 😀
