Since we’ve moved here, I’ve been hearing people say that it snows every once in a while in Seattle, but that it wasn’t a regular occurrence. So I was super excited to see it snow, really snow, for a few hours yesterday. It was so pretty. And quiet. And lovely. Jeff and I layered up and took the pup out with us for some winter fun. And I felt like a little kid at Christmas (I realize that snow is not that exciting for some, but for a girl that lived in Florida most of her life, it was pretty exciting).
What did you do this weekend?
*This year, one of my new year’s resolutions is to share more of myself on the blog + really connect. So you’ll see more personal posts sprinkled in the regular content from time to time.
This entry is filed under seattle, snow, south lake union, winter.
My mom was just complaining about the snow
It really is quite unusual – I can count on one hand the number of snow days we had growing up. Did you find that even the small amount shut everything down?
Love the pictures!

noomiy commented on January 16th, 2012 at 1:25 pmThese pictures are great. I unfortunately live in a city that usually sees a lot of snow. This year has been pretty forgiving until this past weekend. Even though I don’t like the cold weather, I have to admit that the first real, ground covering snow is always a bit enchanting :0)

lyndsey @ the stationery place commented on January 16th, 2012 at 4:16 pmI’ve lived here in the seattle area most my life. We definitely used to have some harsher winters. But usually we get away with barely anything. I live up near mill creek/everett now…right smack in the convergence zone. So we got dumped on over the weekend! I
Tsuki aka LittleGrayFox commented on January 16th, 2012 at 4:30 pmwow-you saw an abandoned car lyndsey. crazy! i didn’t think the snow was that bad. anyway, i moved here just a few months after you in september. so we’ve been here almost the same amount of time. thanks for stopping by!

Gorgeous photos Brittni!
Cathy commented on January 16th, 2012 at 6:37 pmMy family enjoyed the snow as well — my 7 yo daughter built a snow fort and the 2 yo made a few snowballs with our snowball maker.
Thanks Cathy. Sounds like your kids really enjoyed the snow. Probably as much as I did.

we had a good bit of snow here today and the sweet dog i’m long term pet-sitting absolutely loved it! it’s a rarity here too, so it’s always fun.
what i noticed is how the snow really reflects so much light, and being in it is really energizing
