Adventures of Molly

Snow Day

filed in

If you even remotely know me, you know that snow is my absolute favorite things of all. And every year, I get let down and completely devastated at how little snow we get here in North Carolina. Chad has heard it every single year… “WHY DOES TEXAS GET SNOW AND WE DON’T?!” “CAN WE TAKE A QUICK ROAD TRIP TO MAINE?! THEY HAVE 11 INCHES ON THE GROUND!!” So when I kept seeing that snowflake pop up on the weather app that I so diligently watch, I was excited, but also preparing myself for the let down that generally comes. One day it’s there, the next day it’s a sun. As Saturday approached, I was trying to hide my inner excitement while also attempting to tell myself it wasn’t going to happen. I watched the radar, realized Friday that snow would begin at 6pm! I was GLUED to the window. And then it rained. “Oh, they changed it to 7pm snow start time… Okay.” Nope. 8pm. 9pm. 11pm. 1pm. Nada. Just rain. I was angry. And I also threw a sleetball at Chad thinking that was my only chance to get him with something remotely similar to a snowball. I knew I had a wedding the next day, so I went on to bed, but woke up a thousand times because my excitement level for the potential of snow was THAT high. At 8am, an ungodly hour for me, I was wide awake. I lunged across the bed, looked out, and saw white. SNO— ice. Just ice. Freakin. Ice. Knowing I had a wedding in 7 hours, I decided to go ahead and de-ice the car. I probably sat in there for 45 minutes just waiting for the air to get warm enough to begin melting what small amounts it could. And then? A white flake appeared… And another… And soon, tons of tiny little white flakes were falling everywhere! SNOW! There might be a chance! I quickly began scraping the car down, beating the ice off the roof, and when I was finished, a tiny little blanket of snow was already on the ground. I rushed back into the house, excitedly told Chad what was happening, he grumbled (probably out of fear of another sleetball), and I watched as snow fell for the next two hours. It wasn’t much, but it was something.

Being that Chewie is still a puppy (STILL.), it was his very first time experiencing something like this! I was ecstatic to bring the pups to the dog park so they could go crazy, and let Molly show Chewie how awesome snow is. She rushed around, rolled in the tiny bit we had, tried to dig into it, ate some, and was having THE best time. Chewie was a little confused, but tried to follow her and copied what she did. It only took a minute or so before he truly realized how FUN this was! I had my camera out, and captured their moments in our first (and tiny) snowfall of the year 🙂
