Snoverkill (Snow + Overkill)

We are still here and haven't killed each other yet (jk), but are very stir crazy. GW is already canceled tomorrow which is the 4th day this week and my last day of classes for the week. Ryan is at most going in late but might be canceled as well. I'm hoping that it at least won't be snowing tomorrow even if we are stuck here so we can go outside and get some fresh air. The majority of today was whiteout conditions so we just stayed inside. I can't promise there will be any pictures of "Snoverkill" because we are pretty fed up with it and have run out of things to take pictures of. To pass the time we starting making cheddar cheese as our second cheese. It is being pressed right now. We took pictures and will post those sometime this week once the pressing is done. After it is pressed, it has to air dry for 3-5days and then we get to wax it with the pretty red cheese wax! :) Then we have to say goodbye to it for a minimum of 2 months and probably more like 6 months while it ages.

So this past Sunday Ryan woke up early to go take some sunrise pics. The day after a snow fall is always so pretty and we have had gorgeous blue skies every time. Once he came back I was ready to go out so we put on some ski pants (thanks, mom & dad for getting them out of the attic for us!) and went to the public park up the street. We spent a good two hours building our snowman! The snow was so high that we probably each fell down a good 50times so we were sore after the adventure, but it was a good and fun sore! Our snowman is pretty plump (and kind of feminine) but our neighborhood seemed to enjoy him. We had people tell us he was awesome and secretly watched other people take pictures of him (we were so proud!). So here are the pictures from the rest of the weekend's "Snowmaggedon" storm.



Wish us luck--there's more snow in the forecast for next week! Hope everyone else is staying warm and doing well!

  1. Great snowman and great shots with the star/cross filter. Hopefully, you guys can dig out of the snow soon.
