Snow in our part of the Pacific Northwest isn’t very common. Oh, sure, it might actually dump snow, but it’s generally too warm to hang around. Which is partly why last week’s storm was such a blast! (I can say that now that the snow’s gone!)
Despite the amount of work I had to get through over the weekend, I had to take the opportunity to make a snow blob. 
Really, it was supposed to be a snow man. Only, this batch of snow was too dry, which meant that the snow wouldn’t hold together, which meant that instead of a huge ball, I ended up with a cone-like thingy, which meant that Frosty wouldn’t likely materialize.
Anywho, after a couple of hours it was time for a glass of wine. (Priorities, you know 😉 ) And that was when I’d also decided the blob was as good as it was going to get.
What do you all think?
Does it snow in your part of the world? What do you do for fun when it does?
Stay warm,
Melia
Loved the photos, Melia! And your title…
Moved here from Iowa, where it’s often below zero in Jan. with snow ‘mountains’ on either side of the driveway. Your post reminded me how fun the snow can be!
Definitely cute. Is this much snow still left at your place? We have zip here in Portland.
You did great! We get a fair amount of snow here in NY. In fact we have some on the ground right now. 🙂
We had snow here a couple weeks ago. Walked the dog in the snow. Took a glass wine along for the snow stroll. The wine iced over by the time I returned to the house 🙂
Great pix!
Love your snow blob! He has attitude! 🙂
Schöne Fotos,.Gruß, Wolfgang
Thanks, Sarah! I wasn’t sure what else to call it. LOL. Snow mountains would be another thing altogether, though. *Gulp*
I soooo appreciate it when you stop by – thank you!
Stay warm,
Melia
Thank you, Wolfgang! You always make me smile!
Merry Christmas to you and yours, and all the best in 2014!
Hugs,

Kylie,
He’s got to have attitude wearing pink! LOL.
So great to see you last weekend, and to know that all’s well. 🙂
Hugs and happy writing,

You were brave enough to walk in it with wine?! I’m thoroughly impressed, girl!
So great to see you last weekend, though we really need to get together for more than five seconds and CATCH UP. *sigh* Don’t we always say this?
Hugs and happy writing,

It was fun to play in, Barbara. To drive in it? Not so much!
Thanks so much for stopping by – great to see you here! 🙂
Hugs,
Melia
Thanks, Maggie! I tried – really, I did – to get something that actually looked like a snow man!
This was snow that first weekend. It hung around until the following Thursday, which is A LOT of time for around here. It’s surprising that Portland didn’t get any – it’s usually the other way around.
So great to see you at the party (and excited to give Niece 2 one of your books!).
Hugs and happy writing,
Melia
No snow here on the French Riviera, but I grew up in the northeast of the US. I think your snowman looks happy & chic!
Hi Melia, I’m so in love with snow and I think you had a blast during it ! Here it still didn’t but I hope when I go for Christmass to Holland it will 🙂 ! Lovely photos ❤
