Winter Funtime at the Office

Last week we got about 8 inches of snow in Boone and about 10 inches of snow at the house (just outside of Boone). It snowed last Sunday and Monday, then got bitterly cold.

The system came in from the southeast and met up with a cold front coming in from the northwest. If you live in North Carolina and the mid-atlantic region… you know this pattern are the real snow-dumpers.

Usually, it’s the kind of snow that packs real easy. Ya’ know, the kind that you can build snowforts and snowballs out of. Well, on Wednesday it was warming up a bit and the snow was packing REALLY well. It was about 50 degrees and I told my Office Goddesses (Tanna and Diana) that we should build a snowman.

We asked the building owner if he minded and then we set out to play in a midafternoon snowman break. It was loads of fun and I think we all had a chance to express our creative inspirations.

Our snowman lasted until Friday, when he became only 2 little balls as the head and hat had melted. The temperatures that day were in the high 60’s and needless to say… he never made it through the night.
