Southern snow- December 5, 2010

We got quite the early December surprise here in North Carolina this weekend. This was our back deck yesterday afternoon…

When it comes to snow, there are two types of Southerners…

“SnOMG! This is the best day of my life! It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen! Maybe it will stick this year. Do you think school/work will be cancelled?! Ooh! Let’s drink hot cocoa and build what we call snowmen that are really just icy piles filled with leaves and mud. We better go to the grocery store and unnecessarily stock up on bread and milk.”
“SnOMG! No! The roads will be terrible and they’ll have to cancel school/work! We’re all gonna die because our city is not properly equipped with snow plows and people like me drive like jerks! We better go to the grocery store and unnecessarily stock up on bread and milk.”

When I don’t have to be at work I’m a type 1. I was delighted at our early Christmas present from the meteorology Gods. I bundled up my baby in her little bear snow suit and took pictures, oohing and aahing over every little flake.

(Please excuse my face without make-up and my obnoxiously long hair. It grows so fast in the third trimester! I haven’t gotten it cut yet.)

I’m not sure what Charlotte thinks of the snow, but she sure looked cute pondering it. Maybe she’ll inherit a sensible view of winter weather thanks to her Colorado father. Bundle up ya’ll!
