A Snowy January

Do you love the snow or do you hate it? Me, I ♥ it! Yes I have to shovel my car out and go to work in it, but I think of the shoveling as a workout for the upcoming bikini season.

My street Monday morning of December 27th after the Blizzard. 20 inches was recorded in Central Park other places got more.

View from my apartment Thursday morning January 27. This storm dumped 19 inches, but not a blowing snow blizzard like the one in December.

We have gotten a few snows in between those last too but not significant enough to make a fuss about. Lets just say I’ve perfected my snow shoveling technique.

With all the snow that’s been falling, I've been dying to play out in the snow. I want to make snow angels and snowmen maybe build a fort and have a snowball fight or perhaps go sledding. When I was a kid my family and I would go to a golf course that had a few hills and take our old metal and wood sleds to go sledding. Its those times that I miss to this day about my family being together and being young.

Being that  there is so much snow around I decided to play, ahem, do a photo shoot in the snow. I did manage to make a snowman. My snowman by the way was tiny and cheesy with no nose, arms, eyes or mouth.

                                                   That little thing is my pathetic snowman

                                

                             

                                     

What I am wearing.

Jacket and boots – Spotted Moth, Fur collar and bag necklace  – Claire’s , Sun glasses – Ray Ban, Corduroy pants – American Eagle, Denim shirt, white longsleeve, and gloves – Target, Wool hat – Hand knitted by me

As far as what I am wearing, there are two repurposes. My hat is made from a sweater that I hand knitted my self that got a few stains over the years. The fur collar on the jacked it a separate piece that I just pinned on with safety pins.

Also some randomness, I got my bangs cut today. You can see the difference between the shot in front of the snow bank and the last shot of me. I think I look better, the bangs cover the 5 finger forehead I have.

By the way as I am typing this it is currently snowing, I am hoping for at least an inch because NYC needs just 9/10ths of an inch in order for it to be the snowiest Month on record, I mean if you are close you might as well beat it, right?  The month that was the snowiest was just set back in February 2010 with 36.9inches. NYC already is the snowiest January on record with a total of 36 inches beating out a record of 27.4 set in 1925.

Watch out I throw hard!

Records smeckords. Whatever ♥
