what a fun event

It never ever snows in December in the part of Maryland I am. Usually when it snows it melts immediately and it's followed by a ton of rain. I had decided to travel to Tennessee tomorrow for my first Christmas away from home and my first Christmas without my family. I am so excited, I rarely have time to leave the house unless it's for the store. I own, take care of and work 15 horses with just the help of my mom. The snow is so BEAUTIFUL I love it so much, but why couldn't it have waited until Friday. Living in Maryland is so weird. It'll be sunny, cloudy, windy, not windy, rainy, snow like crazy, then melt immediately and feel like spring. This was a much needed holiday treat.
I'm going to spend today gazing out my window, I may even drink some hot chocolate later to close in the day. :)

Where i am at in Texas it's -5° and snowing. I can't wait to decorate ponies, any specifics and what it can be decorated in?

I work as a stablehand and I have to prep the barn for the freeze tonight

This will save me some money, I'm afraid to see my gas bill next month lol Got 3" of snow and 6-8 more today/tomorrow. Then we get that lovely gusty stuff and negative infinity temps. SOOOO glad Christmas eve is at the MIL's literally 1 mile away.

If anyone is missing tack packs and can't afford the IVs send me a DM and I'll shoot you some HBs.

@BarnRaised - that was probably the most accurate description of Maryland weather ever :))
I live in Boonsboro MD so we get a lot of the weather that hits the Appalachian Mountains but at the same time it'll only last an hour and be back to sun with birds chirping. :))

@BarnRaised I’m from southeastern Virginia, so we only get snow once every few years. We also have weather like Mother Nature is PMSing. It’ll pour for 15 min and then be sunny, or it’ll be sunny but you can hear the rain on its way coming through the trees. Weather forecasts and radar are a suggestion of what might happen, but they’re mostly just fictional entertainment. I’m in Tennessee for the holidays, and the forecast is calling for temperatures in the single digits. I’ve never experienced temperatures in the single digits! I’m a little scared lol

Where I am in Texas it's 17(f), snowing and feels like 0- not much for people up North, but here it's quite a novelty. I'm loving it. :D

Oooo what fun! I live way down in the Southern part of Texas where it Rarely ever snows. We just get rain with the cold........and then More rain & flooding lol :))

@BarnRaised They are calling for deadly whiteout conditions and category 2 hurricane-type forces. Please be sure to monitor the traffic alerts and bring emergency supplies! Makes me very worried to hear about anyone on the roads.

@BarnRaised you are only about 15-20 minutes from me then depending on which side of the battle field you're on :D
We have our own personal forrest so 5 minutes away in town it'll be really nice and warm and at our house it's freezing with all the tree coverage!

So I had to finish decorating cookies today because why am I making cutout sugar cookies as a 30 year old woman with no kids idk....



So we have a nicely dressed pony, a scary red mare, a pee stained white show pony, either a grinch or a sick pony? And an esquillax.

.... OH it says PIXEL ponies not PASTRY ponies! My bad.

...are we not supposed to use fantasy horses for the contest?

I have a high distaste for cold (I actually have a skin condition that I get welts when I'm exposed to cold)...

Not sure if this would count but this is what I'm going to be dreaming of come this weekend :))

If that doesn't count, there is this one..

Fighting the urge to hook up my little Gray Pony mare to go for a sled ride so I picked a mare from my Gypsum line (my girl's name is Gypsy and the line was molded around her) and tacked her up like she is going for a drive!

@Fiddler - WTC tack pack.
If you go to a horse's tack tab, it'll give you the same tack breakdown you see on your own horse's tack page

May try to make a few more, but here's one!
Also a Marylander here (out in Baltimore instead of the mountainous parts. But hello, other Maryland friends! :-h ) It's been pouring rain, but now that's stopped and the howling wind is starting to roll in...

Here's some of mine so far!

One of my favorite one's and she's ready for Christmas!

I decided to go to the bank today. It is -35 windchill and -9 standing. My butt is froze. But my car started and I made it down the road and back. Now I will decorate ponies! And maybe bake more cookies.
