Atlanta Snow!

We had our first flurry snowfall of the year in Atlanta today.  Now before all you Northerners laugh, just believe me that this little dusting (see deck floor in photo below) is considered snow in Georgia so I don’t want to hear any snickering!

I got Troy to take these photos so I could prove to you all that it snowed, but we didn’t stay out long because we were freezing. Our Georgia blood doesn’t do well with the cold. Wheatie, however, didn’t seem to mind the cold at all under his white, fluffy fur coat.

I almost didn’t post this photo because it’s not styled right – it’s obvious I’m freezing, my shirt sleeves look all wonky and there’s a crease running along the front of my top. However I wanted to include a better shot of the sweater I bought two weeks ago. Outfit details: H&M hat, sweater from Lilo boutique in Inman Park, American Apparel shirt, Ann Taylor pants, Frye boots and my new phone-friendly gloves!

I bought these gloves (please ignore all the dog fur) at Squash Blossom Boutique in Decatur. The little nylon bits on the thumbs and index fingers allow me to use the touchscreen on my phone without having to take my glove off every time I want to answer a phone call, text or look something up. I had seen similar gloves like these before, but I just figured they weren’t worth it. It wasn’t until I tested them out on my phone at the store that I realized how brilliant they are. I highly recommend a pair for anyone out there with a touchscreen phone.

Our dad’s birthday is tomorrow, which means we’ll be helping our mom make him a delicious meal and ending the night with a slice of ice cream cake (his favorite).

Hope you all have a great start to the week!

  1. as a southerner living in the north against her will- i’m laughing at your snow.

    now, make sure it warms up again before i come down there this weekend, k? NO SNOW

  2. Hehe snow in balmy Atlanta definitely calls for a furry hat! You look great as always, Cath. And the gloves sound really interesting. I have “texting gloves” from Cynthia Rowley with little flip-down pads on the thumb and forefinger that allow me to use my phone and iPod.

  3. This morning my car doors were frozen solid shut so I have no pity for you and your southern ‘winter’. Although those are super tech gloves-I’m such a luddite I had no idea touchscreens didn’t work with gloves.

    Oh and your dad has impeccable taste. I make my classically trained French pastry chef sister make me an ice cream cake over anything else.

  4. I’m from Atlanta, but I did roll my eyes a little when my friend was dancing around yelling, “It’s snowing! It’s snowing!” And, it was snowing, for like 2 days, but no sticking. I wouldn’t mind it if it didn’t mean ice for a week and treacherous driving conditions, because you know us Atlantans can’t drive in ice!
