Snowed In: A Guide on Staying Warm, Happy, Dry & Sane

The ice storm was mostly a false alarm. But the snow... the snow warning was very real. Just look at it! We're several inches deep... and it's still coming down. There's potential we'll be stuck inside for a couple of days.


Soo... a girl's gotta stay warm, happy, dry and SANE, right? RIGHT?!

So here are a few things that are necessary to stay warm, happy, dry & sane when you're snowed in.


First up... these. Being unfashionable in snowy weather is unexceptable. These were $9 at a local shoe store. As a co-worker once put it, "Fifth Avenue meets the country." Invest in some snowy-weather foot apparel.


Just for kicks, venture outside. Give your fashionable footwear a test run. This is also extremely important for your sanity; trust me.


Now that you're back inside, safe and warm, light up your favorite candle. I stole this one from Bryan's grandma at Christmas.


Now, here's the important part: make sure you have plenty of liquids on hand. Hydration is key.

...and finally.....
....snuggle up to your favorite furry buddy.


He may want to walk around the snowy patio, just for a few minutes. And- he may initially think the snow is one giant litter box. He might also eat massive quantities of snow. However, he will NOT let you capture any of those cute moments on camera.


But he's not fooling anyone.
