SNOW!!

So I have been living in Colorado for a week now.... One of the weirdest things that I am having to adjust to is having snow on the ground 100% of the time (you can see the view off my porch)... It is weird to walk outside and tromp through snow to get ANYWHERE. It is weird that I have to brush snow off my car and scrape ice of my windshield EVERYDAY. It is weird that I have to where boots everyday so that my feet and calves stay dry and warm... because yes, when I step into the snow and it has not been "packed" down, I step into it up to my calf. So even though this has been an interesting adjustment, I have come to have an appreciation for the life of snow here compared to the life of snow in the south....

In the south when there is even a threat of snow...

EVERYONE takes a trip to the store to by milk, eggs, and bread... Here, when there is a threat of snow... everyone is surprised and even bummed that it is not guaranteed snow. These skiers love new "powder".

Schools close... automatically... Here life is normal... I was driving to lunch the other day and I saw a group of children outside walking towards camp... They were a outdoor ed group... there was LOTS of snow on the ground and somewhere between 15 and 20 degrees outside and the kids were playing outside...

In the south when there is snow....
Legitimately people can not drive on the road... Here you actually can drive on the road... in fact today I went to the grocery store and the gas station... I drove on snow... pretty crazy

Anyway, as there are some good and bad things about living in the snow... it is a new adventure and I am learning more about myself and about life.

Pray I stay warm and I will do the same for those in the south!
