So it happened. We were hit with a big winter snowstorm a few days ago, that dumped 20" of snow overnight, and we've been snowed-in since. The snow itself isn't really the problem, so much as the fact that Oklahoma never sees this magnitude of snow, so they are ill-prepared for it (not enough equipment or resources to move it around). Only major roads are being worked on currently and that means residential streets like mine are still impassable. It is kind of an odd feeling knowing that you can't drive anywhere (even though my neighbors so kindly shoveled my driveway without me even asking—all 20" of snow worth), and cabin fever has started to set in (especially for my daughter). So When the sun finally peeked through yesterday we decided to venture out into the snow-blanketed world for a little adventure (and to see if there were any shops open - only one was). Here are a few of the photos from our lovely walk (despite the fact that it was only 16 degrees out):
Has this storm effected you too? I know so many of us here in the U.S. were hit hard. I hope that you are safe and warm wherever you are and that the weekend will bring sunshine to your neck of the woods. And speaking of coziness...I'll be sharing a super yummy soup recipe later today, so I hope you'll come back in just a little bit for that. xox Ez
Signs that Spring really will come again...I hope!
