Snow Days Are the BEST Days!

February 3, 2011

The Snowtorious BIG.  Snowpocalypse.  Snowmageddon.  SNOW MY GOD!

These phrases speak for themselves.  These photos do, too.  But still, I’m going to speak on their behalf to say…SNOW IS AWESOME!  As a Southern girl who experienced a average of -2.5 inches of snow per year (yes, that’s negative) for most her life, I’m in actual awe of the snow outside my window, covering my street, and melting in my hall.  Today my pals and I spent the better part of the afternoon jumping, running, diving, and generally luxuriating in the snow and I couldn’t be happier.  M’bum could be warmer, but not m’soul!

Hope you enjoy these photos of our goofball-osity.

PS: As we speak some tool is trying to gun his engine to get out of a 4 foot snow drift.  Good luck, sucka.  No one beats the Blizaster of 2011!

Snowijima!  Nate and I played the part of the town's uber-American tableau.

    What great photos. I’m kind of jealous of all that snow. Chicago is a great city even covered in snow. Looks like a fabulous snow day. Stay warm.
