Today our son experienced his first snow. Well, sort of. It doesn’t snow as much in the pacific northwest but when it does, everything shuts down. For the last couple of winters there has been snow atleast once during the season and adds up to atleast half a foot if not more.
Our son experienced snow in the sense that he witnessed snowfall through the window and then I dressed him up in warm clothes and took him outside. I say sort of, because we did not spend enough time making snowman or playing around in the snow. I think he is too young for that .. Instead we did what Gen X or whatever the younger generation now is called :). We took a bunch of pictures for memory and to check the box for social media posts. Here is a picture of us hanging out in the snow for a bit.
Good thing about Seattle is that it doesn’t snow all winter and the snow doesn’t last throughout the winter. I still remember spending 3 (or was it 4) winters in the Midwest. You always enjoy the first snow and then it becomes a drag when you have to scrape ice off your windshield every morning or bear the -20 wind chill while waiting for your bus to arrive. I don’t miss that part of my life now but I do miss the snow days and the grad school life. Looking forward to when my son is a bit grown up so that we can actually spend time playing in the snow!
