I’ve been going through my photo roll, and upon seeing quite a few pictures from January, I knew I had to share them.
We moved back to Alabama from Florida in 2020.
Now, a little history.
I lived in Colorado until I was nine. That’s when we moved to Alabama, where I lived for ten years. The Mr. And I got married when I was 19, he graduated from Auburn, and we moved to Florida.
So, although I’d lived with snow for the first bit of my life, I truly hadn’t seen the white stuff come down on my home in over 40 years.
That changed the third week of January. We knew we were getting a storm. The university decided, wisely, that employees would work remotely, and students would attend class remotely as well.
I wasn’t sad one little bit. Each person in my office has a remote day each week; I do not because of the nature of my job. So, this was quite the treat.
The snow started coming down January 21. We have a long sliding glass door that enabled me to watch my backyard change from brown to white.
The transformation was pure magic.
In between work phone calls and Teams messages, I popped back and forth between the front and back of the house – carefully of course since I was still sporting a sling from my shoulder surgery.
The reflection of the street lamps that evening was mesmerizing.
The sunrise the next morning was equally as stunning.
We were completely iced in the morning after the snow fell. Fortunately, the college decided to keep employees remote two more days. It’s a good thing because there was no way I could have gotten out of the driveway safely.
The street was frozen over in both directions.
The clubhouse across the street was also sporting icicles.
The snow stayed on the ground for several days. Gambit was not amused.
Our three-day Snowmageddon was certainly one for the memory books!
