Surviving a snowstorm….in the desert

So the past few days here have looked a little like this:

Crazy right?? I mean, when the forecast said snow, I thought…awesome…a dusting…which will close things for maybe a day (just like it does eastern NC). I never thought I would be stuck indoors for 3 whole days….with the most snow this area has seen in 50 years. Lucky me I guess?? Well I’ve learned some things in these past few days of snow, so I’ve decided to provide a sort of survival guide….just in case you ever find yourself in the middle of the most snow the desert has seen in years…

 
Have some play time…I mean come on…snow angels will make anyone feel better
Make a snowman that fits in with the culture….even if you can only find enough materials for one eye

An electric kettle and hot water bottle are you friends. They are dear friends that make you hot drinks and keep your feet warm. You will never forget them.

Dress in layers. It’s way better that way…even if you look ridiculous
And if all else fails….wear a blanket as a cape!

Ok, I hope these are some helpful hints that will be useful in the future. This NC girl has seen enough snow for quite a long time. Happy future snow days everyone.
