The good thing about snow is the bridge light it’s giving when daylight hits the snow 😍

The night always becomes so much lighter once it snows. The fall before the snow ❄️ is the darkest time of year it seems.

@sry7646 Жыл бұрын

Another great thing to keep in your vehicle as part of your emergency kit is a collapsible shovel. If you ever slide off the road into deep snow and can't get out, you need to dig out the vehicle exhaust, or there's nowhere for the fumes to go but into the cab. That could/would result in carbon monoxide poisoning if enough time passes. It's not something to mess with for sure!

Phew that was a marathon. Gosh my car prep consists of water, sunscreen, hat and tissues. If taking the kids out I pack, hand wipes , food and their bikes if it’s a park trip. What a dIfference.. mark was meant to have boys he revels in all the boy stuff and how lucky are they to learn so much from him. Great family pic they look professional, well done. Make sure you take your vit D, the deficiency , among other things can make you very tired and with how much you need done each day that’s not a good thing. Cuddles to luna❤

Lauren Thanks for Motivating us too. Illinois hit 25 degrees overnight, we have officially had the hard frost and yesterday snow that never amounted to anything. Sun going down early and the Furnace turning on and off. I made my first Big pot of Vegetable Beef Soup, dropped a couple off to all the Friends who thought it sounded good. I am also working on getting heavy coats, hats, gloves ready. The City came and picked up leaves that is always a sign snow is on the way. It is always fun to see the Boys playing in the snow. And I can relate to the peacefulness of the quiet of the cold winter calm. The new hot tent looks great. Hopefully the Alaska Boys get a few vlogs out soon. My favorite scene Today, Weston walking around with the flippers. And then laying with Mom on the ground. Phew, you did it!! HEY WINTER, BRING IT ON, THE HAMM FAMILY IS READY, LET'S HAVE FUN IN THE SNOW.

I’m in Australia and it doesn’t snow where we are although we have a wood burner as the temperatures get down to -6 or so Celsius which to you would be quite comfortable I’m guessing. I’m learning so much and did not know anything about hunting! Thank you.

My part of canada is already into winter too. It dictate what we do as well but growing up. Snow always came the second week of september without fail. Its gradually coming later as I've gotten older. I did get to enjoy a mild winter for 5 years in another part of canada and i miss it so much. My everything was winter prepped in october. I have all weather tires but after driving through snoqualmie pass with them in the snow, i bought proper winter tires. They aren't good for ice, as there is a compromise. So I got proper winter tires.

Seeing the boys sledding down that hill brought back memories! I grew up just outside Seattle and our house had a "steep" driveway. All the neighborhood kids would slide down it into the front yard across the street. I live in Texas now (your Texas superintendent closing schools for 4 inches of snow literally made me laugh out loud!!) and Mom and I visited our old neighborhood a few years ago -- that driveway was NOT as steep as it was when I was growing up! 🙂

Your family is wonderful! It's so great to see the boys learning responsibility and independence and that they help each other. Being from Texas, I had to giggle a bit when you mentioned that your new school superintendent, also from Texas, closed the schools because there were 4 inches of snow. We live just north of Houston, and rarely get snow... 4 inches would cause the schools to be closed here too!

I store a bag of clay litter and two small bags of ice melt. It works in 20 minutes or faster. Your winter emergency kit has improved. We have snow and my original appointment for tire switch got bumped. Thinking time to buy good year all season with ice ratings. The weight in back actually helps but seems to burn fuel when the roads aren't cleared. Stay warm and enjoy before the big chill hits. Thanks for sharing
