Fun in the Snow

In early February, much to my husband’s relief, I put away my snow pants.  It looked like I wouldn’t need them this year but oh how I love my snow pants!  On bitterly cold days, I can slip them over my pj’s & go to work.  They are my magic pants… an article of clothing that I never knew existed while living in Georgia.  In fact, snow happens so RARELY in South Georgia that when we had a mere dusting of the white stuff- school was closed!

After I retired my ‘magic pants’ for the season, we receive word that a winter storm is on its way.  Up to TEN inches they declare!  I was in disbelief but the next morning I awake to a beautiful landscape of winter white & the threat of another storm just around the corner.  In total we had about two FEET of snow!! I couldn’t believe it!  This was the PERFECT opportunity to break out my snow pants.  The second storm dropped heavy, wet snow that clung to the trees & created quite a magical scene- one unlike anything I’d seen before.  The morning after a fresh snow is breathtaking & quite…as I stepped out in the fresh cold, I felt a different kind of ‘calm.

Initially wasn’t ambitious enough to get out in it, aside from the shoveling.  But once I saw the look of wonder is my child’s eyes I knew I couldn’t take these moments or the beauty of the snow for granted.  Besides it gave me the chance to wear my own magic pants.. so out I went.

Here are some images from one of my many snow sessions!
