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!
