The Ramblings Of Jenn Shuey

What’s better than having an awesome Valentine’s Day with Hubby and the baby?  Having an awesome Valentine’s weekend with Hubby, the baby, and lots of snow. This is one weekend I wasn’t looking at Outer Banks rentals wishing the cold would go away. We finally got the one good snow storm I wanted for the year, and now I’m ready for Winter to go away so Spring can arrive.

We did get a good bit of snow, well for what we consider a good bit.  We ended up with about 3 1/2-4″ of the really good fluffy stuff…the good kind you make snowmen and snowballs out of.  I was thankful we didn’t have any of the normal ice that ruins it, and we didn’t have to worry about losing our power this time.

We did build a nice sized snowman, and we did a little sledding before it mostly melted away.  There’s still a little bit out there we’ve been letting the dog play in.  Of course now I’m ready for it to melt away, but I doubt that’s going to happen.  Now we’re supposed to get more tonight, and I’m not too happy about that.

The mountains are supposed to get 3-5″, and that means all the subdivisions with construction will shut down.  The subdivision Hubby is working in right now won’t even let them in the gate if they get most than a dusting of snow.  Hubby has missed a lot of work this Winter because of that, and that means I’m finding myself constantly robbing Peter t pay Paul, and that totally sucks.

Yep, I’m definitely ready for Spring to arrive now.
