Snow, Snow AND more Snow

Ugh. It has been a snowy few days here in my part of Michigan. It has been one advisory and warning after another. Of course, on Sunday it snowed. We didn't make it where we were going, but we did head to the lakeshore. It was pretty cold and the ice is starting to build. We managed a small walk before another round of snow came in and pretty much ended up little Sunday Adventure

There was the tiniest bit of sunshine, and we made the most of it! Last photo is of husband at the waters' edge looking at the ice balls that had formed on Lake Michigan.

Monday and Tuesday have been more snow, cold weather and winds. I have been really grateful that both husband and son have managed their work journeys okay. There was a terrible accident up north a bit which included a pile-up of 100 cars! (not my photo)

I have been walking but that's about it. Not long walks. It's been too cold and snowy. It makes the days seem really long. I'm struggling with being out of my routine. It's a mental thing, I think. I'd love to just be able to snuggle up and not go anywhere, but I feel off all day if I don't walk at least a bit!

I was glad I went today as (although cold) it was quite pretty out

I love this scene. It was really peaceful too as I was the only crazy one to be out!

Sigh - husband's friends decided to cancel the trip this weekend. No discussion. Just telling us they had cancelled. Neither of us is happy. We understand it is going to REALLY cold in Minnesota and it's not so much the cancelling (though more than a days' notice would have been nice) but it's the fact that there was no discussion at all! This was literally five minutes before I was about to confirm (and pay for) the car rental we had agreed to. We had checked in with them a couple of days ago to see if they were still going and they said they were. Husband and I will rebook this trip another year with an additional stop to see daughter and take longer. 

Husband has already taken time off work, so we've decided to go away by ourselves but up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It will be a meandering sort of trip and (hopefully) relaxing.  

Hope everyone is having a good week and your weather is being kinder than mine!
