Snow, Ice, Cold, Cold and More Cold!!

No one told me that it could get this cold in Kentucky!!  This poor California girl is freezing over here. I had my first experience of below freezing weather this January.  Did you know that the insides of your nose can freeze together?  Well it can and did.  This cold weather is crazy and amazing all at the same time. :)  At least I can now say I lived through the Polar Vortex of January 2014.  Well, all of you California family and friends enjoy your warm weathered winter as you look at these freezing pictures taken around Louisville and at the Seminary during the Polar Vortex.

Scraping ice off of your car in the morning is only fun the first time you do it.  But...sometimes the ice makes some beautiful feather like crystal structures that almost make it fun to scrape ice again.  :)

Don't I have the cutest ice scraper? :)  And look, he's using my super unique bear claw ice scraper that keeps your hands semi-warm while your scraping ice.

We had a small ice storm one night and the next morning we woke up to a crystal world.  Everything was covered in ice.  When the sun came up it looked like millions of diamonds everywhere.  It was absolutely breath taking.  On this day I could endure the cold for the unbelievable beauty that surrounded me.  The following pictures are from that ice storm.
