If you haven't heard, Atlanta got a major snow / ice storm the beginning of this week. I'll have to admit, when I kept hearing it fore-casted on the news, I didn't really think it was going to be this much snow and ice! Mostly though, I was just hoping that the ice wouldn't land on power lines and re freeze, because that what causes the outages. In 1999 or 2000 I had that happen at my parent's house and we had no heat or electricity for 4 days! However on Monday morning when I got up and saw the amount of snow, I was shocked, we had 5.5 inches which is more than I can remember seeing in a very long time! Not only was it a lot of snow, but it had hardened and become ice, everywhere. On the roads, on the driveways, on the stairs. It basically paralyzed the city and everyone was warned to stay in and not drive.
The first couple of days it was nice being at home with my husband and just eating hot bowls of soup, watching TV, napping (I had a cold so I was trying to get better ASAP), playing wii and catching up on some things here and there. But on the third day, we were both ready to get out! Wednesday we made our way over to my parents and the studio to check on things. It was a little weird being one of a few cars on a major highway, and we definitely hit many, many icy patches that I could have done without, but overall we arrived safely and with no damage.
All of our dogs enjoy the snow, and one of my favorite things to do is play with them and take photos of them in it. Here's the usual suspects, Lily (little one), and Lexi (big, german shepherd) out playing in the snow and sliding around, and a new little dog, Barney who we are watching for my aunt while she is out of town. All of them react so differently to the snow and ice, which is just amazing and fun to me!
