We were starting to wonder if everyone was lying to us about the cold weather warnings up in these parts... but the snow and wind finally arrived early this morning, and it is darn cold.
It did not appear to be too cold out this a.m. when Emma and I headed out to do some errands, so we left the house with just our jackets on. Well... we about froze our *##* off!! The temperature gauge says -8*C, but with the wind chill it's gotta be close to -20*C. I won the "worst mom award" for how poorly my gal was dress for the weather conditions. Needless to say we ran for some groceries and headed home.
We decided since we cannot go outside and play, that we'd bake. First Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies and then Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle Cheesecake (we are going to a get-together tomorrow and I said I would bring dessert)!!
Not that you can tell in the photos, but the sun is peering through the clouds, while the big fluffy flakes are coming down and it is very pretty. I am actually excited about the snow... I really missed the "seasons" on the Coast (although I am really missing my Daffodils and Tulips I got used to around this time)!
Oh well, everyone says... "change is good" and we feel good!!
