My Snow Walk...in Hotlanta!

Last night a big storm came in and dumped about 4 inches of snow on us! It was beautiful! But everything closes down in Atlanta and the weather is on the news 24/7! People spaz out. They even announced the school closings on Friday in anticipation of the storm!

Since the gym was closed, I thought I would take a walk in the snow. You don't get to do that too often in Atlanta! I dressed in layers and took off at about 7am. Not a creature was stirring...it was so quiet and beautiful. I love this. I was one of the first people out (I saw the neighbor out...she is from Chicago, I think) and, in many places, my boots hit virgin snow.

I tried to take a few pictures but my battery was dead on my camera so I used my cell phone. Not the best but it will give you an idea of what it was like.



4 Inches, more or less!



Lisa was here!

So, I got a good aerobic workout for about 30-40 mins, breathing hard and sweating, plus the serenity of the quiet outdoors, which always soothes the beast in me.

I thought of going out to go sledding on the hill in front of our house, but the weather has turned unpleasant; windy, cold, sleet and freezing rain. Next week the temps drop; one night to 16! (I thought I lived in the South?!) I'm sure the kids who are off school today will not let that deter them.

I made a pot of Turkey Noodle Soup last night...just in time!
