Winter is Co-- here. She's here.
Day 43/75 soft challenge.
The weather went from cozy fall sweater weather to full winter mode in just two days. I got to shovel snow for the first time in my life. My whole body hurts today (Nov 21, 2024) from working on digging out this side door to the house, and what's crazy is I really thought I could do this alone. About 45 minutes in, I realized ain't no way😅 so I did what I could handle and went inside to thaw out. My husband and my dad were able to get that side door dug out for easier entry/exit from the driveway. As someone who's only ever seen Texas snow, this was a wild adventure that was fun for maybe ten minutes. After that, you're just chilled to the bone and soaked to the skin. and that is when frostbite can happen if you're not careful.🥶 I want to build a snowman so badly but not today. Mostly because I've never done it before, but I don't know that I could lift the snowballs to stack them.☃️ Snow is heavy!⛄️Anyway, is anybody able to give me some snowman building tips? There is more snow on the way this weekend, and I want to make the most of it before it gets too cold outside to enjoy it. (The lowest temperature I've seen here is -40°F before wind chill.) #75softchallenge #winter #snow #snowman #soremuscles
As winter settles in, many people are just beginning to experience snow for the first time, which can be both exciting and challenging. If you're new to snowy weather, it's essential to be prepared. When shoveling, make sure to wear waterproof gloves and thermal clothing to stay warm and dry. Consider using a lightweight, ergonomic shovel to avoid strain on your back and muscles. Taking frequent breaks is also crucial when shoveling to prevent fatigue and potential injuries. Did you know that rolling snowballs together creates a snowman base? Start with a small ball and gradually make it larger as you pack more snow. Always be cautious about frostbite - it can occur quickly in cold temperatures, especially if you have wet hands. Most importantly, enjoy the magic of winter! Build a snow fort, go sledding, or simply enjoy a hot drink while watching the snow fall. Every moment counts, so embrace your new winter adventures fully!
Wow!! Where is that at if you don’t mind asking. I live in Ohio and I we get snow but not a lot anymore. I can remember being a kid and when it snowed there would be so much and now the average is maybe 3-5inches at the most at one time.
