1st SNOW!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE SNOW! Yes, I said it. I LOVE SNOW! And you know what else, it bothers me when Minnesotans say they don't like winter or snow because winter and snow is a HUGE part of our culture. Yes, it is an inconvenience at times (like creating traffic clogs) and goes on a long time (like typically November to April, yep 1/2 the year) but sooo many industries here in MN are dependent on our winters.

One of these industries is my husband's business, he sells half-ton to one-ton pickup trucks and believe me, when it starts snowing people start wanting pickup trucks. And my uncle drives a snowplow (you can't get anymore reliant on snow than that) so please, if you choose to continue living in MN, just accept the fact that it snows and is cold.

And of course I took pictures of this season's 1st snow:

Hank LOVES snow, he gets so excited and just tears around the yard. Stanley...not so much

But at some point it's long enough in the cold that they both want to come inside. And if while looking at the above pictures you thought "well that's not a lot of snow"...just check these out (taken just a short time later) 

I love living is a real-life "snow globe"!
