finally enough snow to count — it’s a winter wonderland

Jan 19, 2024

It was snowing before I went to bed last night and I was hoping we’d have more by morning. Sure enough… we did! And this time, there was enough of the white stuff deposited to actually count. Woot!

Escorting Dharma…

Not gonna lie, I was a bit aggravated at Dharma’s need for an escort when snow got inside my medieval peasant shoes, but if not for her, I would’ve only taken photos from the inside and missed these.

this snow did a total coverup

The serene snowfall is the good — the bad and the ugly are on the way.

Next comes the wind chill advisory — and the temp is dropping even now. It’s currently 20°F and the “feels like” temp is 8°F. By evening, wind chill temps here in the Ville are forecasted to be -20°F. That’s BELOW zero, y’all.

While I’d like to say future nature photos containing snow will be taken indoors, I’ll still be out there escorting the brown hound off the deck multiple times (a bajillion at least) before it warms up.

snowfall - maybe 3 inches

Now you know: Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton was the first major American politician publicly involved in a sex scandal. He had an affair with 23-year-old Maria Reynolds, whose husband was aware of the infidelity and likely orchestrated the whole thing to regularly extort blackmail money from Hamilton.
