Winter Continues!

We all made it through the snowstorm on Thursday.  Brad didn't go to work on Friday so I didn't have to worry about him driving in it.  We spent most of Thursday and all of Friday at home. We got a reprieve from the super cold temps on Sunday.  The weekend featured cold temps not super cold temps. Trust me I'll be happy with any type of reprieve! 

I must say I miss the sunshine.  I looked down at my skin the other day and I couldn't believe how pale I am.  Yes, I'm normally quite pale but I'm even paler than normal.  I recently thought my skin tone and my make-up aren't matching up as well as usual.  I guess that's what happens when you don't get much sunshine during winter. LOL!  

By the time Monday rolled around, bitter cold temps were back.  Off and on it misted freezing rain.  Slap you in the face cold winds accompanied the not so nice outdoor temp.  As for Tuesday, more of the same.  The morning commute is forecasted to feature freezing rain.  I think it will be a similar day as Monday, drizzly and super cold.  I think I speak for the greater Dallas area when I say....we're ready for Spring!  It's been a cold winter!  Most likely the coldest winter I've ever experienced.  Then again I was born in AZ so that's not saying much!  LOL!

My mom texted me last week complaining about Phoenix's 60 degree temp day.  I promptly told her with the wind chill outside it feels like 8 degrees here.  I think she quickly decided to be okay with the 60 degree temp she was experiencing.

I'll close with this lovely visual....there I was walking the boys on Friday, I had my big puffy coat on which is mostly black with some nicely placed sections of winter white.  On my hands I had my best gloves which are also white to match with the black and white coat.  I was literally tip-toeing my way through the icy pathways.  I had my hands positioned with my palms flat, facing down towards the ground.  I was ready to brace myself should I fall. All of a sudden I started laughing at myself as I realized I likely look like a penguin.  I'm in a black and white coat with hands positioned close to my body and I'm tip-toeing....yep, it was my best penguin impression for sure!
