Snow Princesses

We are getting snow today at the Jersey Shore.  How very exciting!  I adamantly do not drive in snow, so any days that we get filled with the fluffy white precipitation are homebound days.  And I cherish them.

We got a blizzard before winter even started.  20" of snow.  It was fantastic!  But that was a storm who's footprint was gigantic, and its path was northbound up the coast.  That is the only way my area sees significant snow.  The waters of the Atlantic, less than a mile from my home, keep our totals low - sometimes only plain rain! - when the storms are moving in any other direction.

I knew this storm was coastal, and I KNEW we should be getting some accumulation.  But until today, the forecast was for only flurries.  Oh, how I want to be a meteorologist; I can't imagine, as a nurse, still having a job if I was wrong as often as a meteorologist.  Woke up this morning - STORM WARNING! I knew it! I. Am. Awesome.

Granted at the moment they are only expecting three inches for us. But time will tell. And even three inches is enough to make a snow angel.

Prior to the storm's commencement, we are heading to the local mall.  Disney Store is hosting a Princess Party! My girls are excited, and have changed their minds at least eleven times each as to whom to dress up as.

Then, back home.  Snow.  Bread-making.  Chicken soup-making.  And family time.  How fabulously, fantastically cozy!
