So maybe it IS cold outside!

The snow started falling at 7am this morning. It is now 7:45pm and only stopped for about 15 minutes about half an hour ago. It is now currently snowing again! This. is. awesome. The forecast for Santa Fe is 10-18 inches! Incredible. I've never lived anywhere where 1) this is normal, 2) regular life continues normally with the forecast of snow, 3) the roads were pre-treated so well that they are clear with already about 5 inches fallen or 4) schools have not been closed yet and I don't even think will be closed, there is a 2hr delay though. Neat!! Looking forward to enjoying this snow fall tomorrow on the ski hill! Maybe falling down won't hurt quite so bad :)

Jack came home early in order to avoid getting stuck up in Los Alamos (they are predicted to get even more than SF) so we decided to stay inside and hangout. We started the movie Despicable Me and half way through we decided to pause it for a bit to wander out into the snow before it got too dark. We went on the similar hike that we took last week except this time it was snow covered! It was beautiful. The snow was falling pretty hard so some of pictures came out a bit blurry looking because it kept landing on the lens. We enjoyed how the city lights played off the cloud cover creating some really pretty and colorful views. After being out for a little while we headed back inside to finish the movie. It was great! Very enjoyable. We enjoyed some pizza delivery from a place less than a mile from the house and warmed ourselves next to the fire. One thing I enjoy about this dry climate is that our snowy clothes dried super fast! Yay!

The start of it all :)

Snow pom-poms!! A few hours later.

Gettin' thicker!

A bit more! Right before we headed out for the hike.

Hello!! Up on the hill with the condo behind me. It was chilly :)

Jack's keeping his hands warm, the snow was blowing side-ways.

The trail!

Pretty lights from Santa Fe

This guy sure was smiley. The snow joy must have been contagious :)

Feelin' good! Headed back to the house. The brim on my hat got snowed over.

that snow sure was zingin' around

Christmas lights!! (I said it first!!)

Flashy snow, tired of these yet?

Their stockings were hung from the chimney with care...to dry their hats of course! :)
