(Our parking lot in December)
Abram can grow up saying he was born during a record-breaking, bone-chilling winter in Minnesota.
I looked up a couple stats for the year (yes, I am currently housebound and fighting cabin-fever), in case you're interested...
As I write this, it's -1 degrees but -18 with windchill. Brr.
Total snowfall for the season so far: 76.5"... (8th place for Minnesota winters ever recorded)
Most "snow emergencies" declared (specific rules on where you can park so the city can plow).
...and some memories...
Easily the worst weather I've driven in.
Our car frequently won't start up because it's too cold.
During our blizzard after Thanksgiving last year I got stranded overnight at work (along with other employees)--the snow plows were pulled off the roads due to zero visibility!
The next day I came home to everyone digging their cars out and big trucks hauling snow out of the city.
The snow plows kept me up at night while I was pregnant...and now they serenade both Abram and me at night when we get up to nurse! :)
Apparently the governor is already making plans for handling severe flooding this year.
*sigh*
Oh spring, you can't come fast enough!
On a much happier note, here's the latest:
Great Grandma Eide, he loves his swing!
He was almost as excited about the BYU vs SDSU game as his father.
His hair gets a little curly when it's wet.
I don't look tired, do I?
It jumped above freezing yesterday, so we HAD to get out of the house for a 5-min walk. This suit is just a little big, but it keeps him toasty!
Ben fed him his first bottle of pumped milk yesterday--he took it like a champ!
We are flying to Utah next week over Ben's spring break. Abram can't wait to see our family!
Ben and I only had to carry the stroller about 40% of the time due to snow. Ha.
