Why does The Weather Channel have to come up with a "clever" (and I use that word sparingly) catch-phrase for every storm, flood and natural disaster? Apparently we're currently suffering from the "Winter Wallop". Seriously Weather Channel, knock it off. So far Mr. Wallop has dumped about 9 inches of glorious powdery snow on our front doorstep and it's still coming down in big, fat flakes. Luckily I have nothing to do today except help keep the sidewalk in front of our house clear. That mostly consists of me watching Tom sweep the sidewalk through the front door peephole while sipping hot chocolate. It's so cold out there!
Having grown up in Alabama and then living in California, I'm not used to this kind of snow. This is only the second time in my life I've ever seen this much of the white stuff (the first being the blizzard of '93 - I'm sure there was a catchphrase for that one too). While the adult in me is thinking about how to keep the house warm, digging the car out and sweeping the never-ending blanket from the steps and sidewalk, the kid in me just wants to stomp around in the deepest snow, throw snowballs and make snow angels.
These photos are really really great!
ReplyDeleteIt's snowing too in France, and I wish I could make such beautiful photos as yours! Well, have a nice day!

ReplyDeleteYou two are so cute in your wintry outfits! I love snow, and I know my friends in DC would roll their eyes at me for saying it, but I'm a little sad that it missed GA. (instead we got was buckets of nasty cold rain and more flooding) Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteaww, fun! and such adorable pictures! we're only a couple hrs south of you and we have NO snow :o(
ReplyDeleteLovely snow pics!
ReplyDeleteEven though it's summer here I still a little jealous!
These pictures are so funny! I imagine the playful snowy day you're talking about, just by looking at them.
ReplyDeleteI want the snow to fall over my head! But that never happens where I live :(
You look perfect for the snow :)
ReplyDeleteLove this!! You just made that much snow look fun with how cute your outfit is!!
ReplyDeleteeeks. TOO CUTE. Love the photo through the peephole, too. SO creative!
ReplyDeleteI love this snow post! Last year we had "Arctic Blast", I kind of get a kick out of the weather nicknames. So corny!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! you make snow look effortless. Im glad I dont live anywhere near it cause I'd be living in five pairs of sweats.
ReplyDeletethese photographs are lovely, the snow looks so dreamy and romantic! i being a southern California girl do not experience snow that often, all though i will say i do not envy you. when it comes to snow i prefer visitation rights to custody. come january i will be in the thick of it in washington state for a week. i am quite excited about that :)
ReplyDeletereally fun photos.. sorry for your misfortunate wallop of a snowstorm.. lovely outfit, too.

Aw! I love it. I'm kind of missing the white Christmas thing being in California for this Christmas, but I have to say, snow always looks better in pictures. It looks so pretty when it's falling, then it just becomes a big, slushy, icy mess. Stay inside and be safe from all the madness snow brings.
ReplyDeletei'm a southerner in Illinois and people tease me allll the time for getting excited about snow falls! also i get teased for not wearing weather-appropriate gear .... but pfff to that!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful pictures. I love the view from the peep hole.
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit! I always have such trouble working with pants, but this is wonderful! <3
ReplyDeleteyou two are quite a chic couple for such walloping weather (haha ;). love the fun boots, you look so glamorous!
ReplyDeletegreat photos. you look lovely. i wish we got snow in australia.
ReplyDeletewell.,.had a great snow day ^^

The best is when it gets deep enough to build tunnels and igloos. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see your man on the blog! And I love that photo through the peephole.
Stay warm!
pfft...that's nothing...come up to Montreal and check out the snow & cold temperatures that we have here (along with the amazing vintage finds).
ReplyDeleteCute pics though :)
You look so cosy in your winter woolies, and that first photo of you two is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, the two of you look so good together! We have quite some snow here to nowadays, although not that much. I should be studying but I want to build a snowman so badly haha.
ReplyDeletegreat photos. You look lovely all rugged up and enjoying the snow.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's just the ordinary Finnish winter. :) Well, not anymore since it's warmer and warmer every year... Nevertheless, I'm used to snow and coldness! Lovely athmosphere in these photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. And I like the combination of your silk scarf and sweater.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun Photojournalistic view on what you did today! I hope you enjoyed the snow. It snowed a lot here too. . . but the man is shoveling alone (not that I wouldn't help, but we have two sons that need to be watched too)
ReplyDeleteaside from you looking adorable, these pictures are so fun! I peephold picture just made me day! have fun in the snow.
ReplyDeleteYou're so cute together!
ReplyDeleteHere in Italy it's snowing as well, and I like it a lot..
Looking for wool tights

As someone commented above, it's snowing in Italy too. A lot, and it's so really cold!
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely photos :-)
haha, that's one of the dumbest catchphrases for the weather ever! Snow also makes such nice light for photos, don't you think?
ReplyDeletesnow is bad for shoveling, but good for ski. Also we have a white Christmas! Wish everyone safe on the road. By the way, nice scarf!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOVE it. I love the fisherman sweater with the winterized shorts, and you rock them well. I also love the vintage snow boots! Fab all around!

Wow! you make snow look awsome with your outfit! may be after being in a 100% warmer then I'd decide whether I should go make a snow man. Never seen this much snow as well but in photos!!! you look super with him too!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos -- you two look so great together! Your boots are fab, too!
ReplyDeleteI've lived most of my life in the South, and until this past March, the most snow I'd ever seen was from the blizzard of '93, too! Though in Georgia everything shuts down because the state is not prepared for any precipitation heavier than rain. :)
Have a great week! - JoAnn, Sidewalk Chalk
You guys look so delicious! I'm so jealous... it's like 35 degrees c here in Australia. I'm melting... I WILL have a white Christmas one year. Thanks for sharing yours with me!
ReplyDeleteOh my, it must be so cold. How I wish I could be there, I have yet to see falling snow!
ReplyDeleteI think we'd all be much happier if we just embraced the kid in us, especially when it comes to weather. Who doesn't love snowball fights, or splashing in puddles, or all the other awesome stuff there is to do in "bad" weather?
ReplyDeletemagic:)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous couple.
ReplyDeletePerfect outfit and beautiful snow!!!
ReplyDeleteyou two are SO CUTE! :) I love that sweater. I'm looking for one too but it has to be really soft and so far the ones I'm finding are too itchy!
ReplyDeleteI'm headed to snow on Wednesday but for now it's mid-60s in Los Angeles!
Stay warm!!
i love these photos...wow i've never ever been in so much snow..would be nice to see
ReplyDeleteThose boots are love! Annie.
ReplyDeleteI thrifted those same boots in black a while back. They're awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou're making that blizzard look glamorous. I live in Alaska, so I know they're not. Or maybe it's just Alaskan blizzards. Anyway, these photos are ADORABLE and make me hate the snow and the cold a little less.
