>>BRING ON THE SNOW.

It started snowing yesterday morning and never stopped. Laramie is now a white blanket of fluffy snow. It's a beautiful sight. Cold, wet and very slick...but beautiful.

Did you know they don't plow the roads in Laramie? The roads are covered with a thick sheet of snow with a top layer that eventually turns to ice. It's this way ALL WINTER LONG. Seriously. They don't plow the parking lots either. You should see Walmart's parking lot in the winter time. I've almost slipped many a times walking through their lot...very, very slick. And all the cars are parked a skew because no one can see where to park. The cars are just sort of scattered everywhere. You should try pushing a shopping cart through a parking lot packed down with thick, crunchy snow. It's harder than you might think.

This is all part of Laramie's charm! The snow, the wind, the bitter cold. That's Laramie. My home. And I love it!

You'll notice in this picture the snow-covered roads. I really mean it when I say they will stay like this all winter long!

  1. That is so crazy and dangerous! I guess the up side to that is you can still park on the street and not worry about the snow plow covering your car!

  5. I can't believe that either! I would die driving. I loved your tag, my husband read it too and he thought you saying "Babe! Light a match" was hilarious.

  7. Jen, this is Jami (Robison). So good to hear from you. Why are you up in Laramie? Crazy that they don't plow the roads. I also loved the chickens you were taking care of over Thanksgiving. They were cute.

    Thanks for writing a comment on my blog. Let's keep in touch.
