Well, it happened. We got our second snow here in the south in a week's time. Yea, just when I was still trying to get over the snow we had last week, the temperatures dropped and I woke up to this...
Well, there is a reason I live in the south. I LIKE it! And who wouldn't? Because you see, by Saturday the temperatures will rise again to 70. Sadly enough though, I won't be here to enjoy all that sunshine and warmth. I'm heading to the "Arctic Tundra" tomorrow, remember? Oh, I will be excited to see my girls and am already planning on some fun things for us to do together. Providing a blizzard doesn't snow us in. And in that case, we might just have to turn the heat up to 90, put on our swimming suits and flip-flops and watch beach movies. OK, I'm not your "traditional" grandmother; that's why I'm called YaYa!
Anyway, as this second snow approached here, I began to start with the "Sniffle, Sniffle, Cough, Cough". This wasn't a good sign because I am asthmatic and going to an even colder climate might not have a positive effect on me. David even called to ask, "Mom...Do you know what you are flying into?" He then informed me that I had no idea how cold -15 degrees wind chill was; he had lived in Erie, Pennsylvania for a year. I assured him that I had all the necessary items needed to get me through a week: Asthma inhalers, nose spray, cough drops, eye drops, Bengay. I told him that I thought I was prepared. I could hear the snicker in his voice as he said, "No one is ever prepared for that kinda weather."
Well, I have almost finished packing at this point and am ready to hop on the airplane at 6 a.m. to head to see my baby girls. I hope to post from there with photos, but I am taking my I-pad and still not sure how to get the photos to load up on my blog from the i-pad (please leave me a comment if you know how to). I suppose I will just have to work with it and if I can't share them, then I will just have to use my descriptive writing skills to bring you into my world of visiting the "Arctic Tundra" for a week!
Yes...I did decide to pack my ski leggings!
New, knee high Uggs will be well worth the money; along with that Northface jacket I bought while up there last year.
OFF I GO...CATCH YOU ON THE BITTERLY COLD SIDE OF THE STATES!
