Winter Storm 2008

This is by far the most snow we've seen since moving to Louisville almost 3 years ago. We were spoiled with our first two winters here but have now had a more typical winter so far this year. It's pretty humorous to us though to see everyone's reaction to weather like this. For those of us from Canada or have lived in Canada, this is NUTHIN'....but to the majority of Louisville-ians (native and transplant), this is insane. The roads get pretreated ("brined") about 2 days prior to the anticipated snow, people stock up on food, sand, shovels, etc., and schools/businesses get cancelled before a single snowflake falls from the sky. We just sit back and chuckle! Anyways, I digress....we took Alexa outside to experience the snow firsthand for the first time. We aren't well equipped in the snow apparrel, but we seemed to do okay. And as long as Alexa wasn't in super deep snow, she seemed to enjoy it. We'll post a couple of the videos so you can share in our experience!

Must have brought back some nice memories of our Canadian winters! We had a nice warm spring day today! I think that our days were backwards, because today here reminded me of a spring day in Louisville.
