march snowflakes

I woke up really early yesterday morning, the first day of March. Instead of going to the bathroom first, I peeked through the window just to see if its snowing. Because the night before, the weather channel said that there might be possible snow showers...I was like "Okay, no snow." So I went on with my Sunday morning ritual, whilst my hubby and baby were still sleeping-then I headed to work.

Everybody at work were talking about a snow storm coming in, and they were expecting for some 4-6 inch accumulation. And I said I'll believe it when I see it." Because how many times that they have called for snow for the last couple of years and we didn't get anything here in the Eastern Shore. Then I went on with my day, took my time to do everything, and even tried to do a last minute hair color deal with my last client. I didn't get off work till 7pm and i was supposed to get out of there at 6. Then I walked out to the parking lot, and it was just raining but freezing though, it was actually a rain and sleet mixture...I wasn't worried at all, and I decided to stop at the Babies R Us to pick up some Mustela baby facial wipes and a couple of Avent sippy cups for my daughter. I was in and out in a few minutes, then I headed at the gas station and filled up my tank. Then I drove northbound to pick my daughter up at my Mom's...

Then all of sudden as I was passing by Maryland/Delaware state line, the roads got bad. It was snowing so hard, I couldn't believe it. Then I started driving like a mom-mom, till I hit 30 mph. After a few minutes, everything was covered in white.

So the usual 40 to 45 minute drive from my work to my Mom's became 2 hours. Then from my Mom's to our house which usually takes me 10 minutes became 40 minutes-(the downside of driving in the snow).

It snowed for a while, it was crazy. Then my hubby finally got home, and he said it was terrible outside, the visibilty was almost zero.

We were happy though, even though we don't like the cold, we are happy that it finally snowed. It doesn't snow much here in the Eastern Shore, and if it does, its like a treat for everybody.

We took a few pictures today, everything was covered with the white fluffy stuff, and it continued to snow on and off the whole morning. It was our Lorelai's 3rd snow and the biggest snow day ever so far for her. It was a fun day for our little family. Our first Big March SNOW DAY !!!
