As many of you know here in Northeast of the U.S. we’re about to be hit with a monster Nor’easter named Stella. *Sigh.* You know it’s gonna be bad when the storm already had been named by eager meteorologists this weekend, as they also excitedly discuss the possibility of Stella being a Weather Bomb like Lucifer that pummeled California last month and Doris that hit the U.K. in February as well.
So, while I’m not trying to make light of this dangerous blizzard heading our way, I hunted down some cute and funny pics to cheer us all up! I hope you enjoy these and please stay safe tomorrow!

DC’s just on the cusp of getting either slammed by snow tonight or only getting about six inches. I’m kind of hoping for the former so I can do some teleworking tomorrow in my pajamas, hahaha.

We live about 1/2 hour north of Boston, and right now we just have a dusting on the ground. The wind is really starting to pick up though and our local news just said the North Shore should expect to start seeing the heavier snow move in within the next hour or so. My husband and I picked up all the essentials yesterday so we’re here at home for the duration. I’m really a REALLY hoping we don’t lose power.😕

This storm can either go two ways. It will be just as the weather people say, or it won’t be nearly as bad as they say. This is New England we’re talking about, and when it comes to snow storms here, they always go one of two ways.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed you don’t get hit too terribly hard. We’re pretty lucky so far, only predicting maybe an inch or two but so far yet today it’s all melting as it comes down.

Actually I was just trying to not get used to the warmth somehow knowing it probably wouldn’t last as much as I wanted it to.

Hopefully this will be brief and we’ll warm back up though.

Thanks Steff. Believe it or not, this winter actually hasn’t been that bad here in New England. We’ve had some snow, but only a couple of storms were big ones, and even they weren’t anything like what’s supposed to hit us. And we had cold days, but there were several where we hit the 50s and 60s. A couple of years ago we had a horrible winter. Every week we had at least one major snowstorm and the cold was unbelievable. Ugh! So, hopefully Stella will be it for us this year. Fingers crossed!😊❤️

We didn’t get hit nearly as bad as expected…at least not the Philadelphia area. I heard reports that it was supposed to start Tuesday night and go into Wednesday morning, but it’s currently stopped now. I think we maybe got only 5-6 inches as opposed to the 11-18 they were predicting. It turned into freezing rain/sleet this morning, which helped cut down on the amount. I was thinking I’d have to work from home both today and tomorrow, but I think I’ll be able to go into the office tomorrow. I’m kind of glad though…I was worried it would be bad enough to cancel that appointment, but the store shelves were definitely empty. People think they’re going to be snowed in for weeks :p
