Snow Day at Light Grey

10 inches of snow and counting

I thought you guys might appreciate seeing what it's like out today. I know that most of us have seen a snow storm, but man, we got hit hard last night and everything looks amazing with all this snow. It started last night as I was teaching over at MCAD and just kept going. I got the chance to chat with Teagan White, a wonderful person and very talented illustrator, last night over coffee. She came over to MCAD for a bit to talk to my product design class about her work and process and afterward we headed to the Spyhouse (a local coffee shop down the street from Light Grey) with Francesca to sit down and warm up.

It kept snowing even after we parted ways and I dropped Francesca off at home. Even so, I was still surprised to see all of it this morning.

Commuting to work today wasn't that difficult because Minneapolis has this snow-removal thing totally under control. I'm thankful for that, for sure. Still, it was amazing to walk the block or so up to work and see that absolutely everything was covered and looked really beautiful.

It's strangely quiet on the streets because of the snow, too. So it's almost like being wrapped in a cold, white sweater.

I'm going to try and enjoy the snow for as long as I can while it looks this good. I know that city snow doesn't stay beautiful forever!

Snowy Day with Dogs

Well, being in Minneapolis has it's perks. Not only do we get to brag about being hardy folk, we get to prove it on days like today. We had about 10 inches of snow throughout the day yesterday and everyone living in the Twin Cities was posting beautiful instagram photos all day long capturing the snowfall.

Today, our Minneapolis perk is that our plows are ready and responding. Though everything is blanketed with snow, we were able to get to Light Grey, no problem. Just a little bit of slipping around on the road never hurt anyone.

The dogs are here today enjoying the quiet afternoon. They're here with us most days and today is no exception. Say hello to Twinkle and Atari, our funny old dogs.
