Winter Storm Jonas
From now on I am going to try the bilingual approach for my blog. I am going to copy Magali’s example, although in different languages.
De ahora en adelante voy a escribir en mi blog en dos idiomas. Voy a copiar el ejemplo de Magali, aún en diferentes lenguas.
So, you may have heard of our blizzard this weekend, the good Winter Storm Jonas. We received 16-18 inches of snow throughout Saturday. This was much less than some states but more than others.
Puede ser que has escuchado de nuestra tormenta de nieve este fin de semana, el buen Tormenta de Invierno Jonás. Recibimos entre 16 a 18 pulgadas de nieve el sábado. Fue mucho menos de lo que recibieron en algunos estados, pero mucho más que en otros.
It was the first time in the snow for my little Ponche. He did not like it, not one little bit. In fact, from the moment I set him down in the snow he froze and refused to move an inch. All he would do was cry pitifully until I picked him up and put him back in the house.
Fue la primera vez en la nieve para mi Ponchito. No le gustó ni un poquitito. De hecho, del momento que le puse en la nieve, se congeló y negó mover un pillín. Sólo lloraba lamentosamente hasta que lo levanté y lo puse de vuelta en la casa.
Kahlua, on the other hand, loved it as always. Douglas made her the usual tunnels in the snow.
A Kahlua, en cambio, le encantó como siempre. Douglas le hizo los mismo túneles en la nieve de siempre.
On Saturday we went out to remove the snow that had already fallen. It was still snowing, but it is easier to shovel it the less there is. As you can see there was already a lot.
El sábado salimos a quitar la nieve que ya había. Todavía estaba nevando, pero es más fácil cavarla cuanto menos hay. Como se puede ver ya había bastante.
It stopped snowing early in the morning on Sunday. The house was beautiful with all of the snow. Everything always looks prettier covered in white.
Terminó de nevar por la madrugada el domingo. La casa estaba bonita con toda la nieve. Todo siempre se ve más lindo cubierto en blanco.
That morning we finished shoveling the snow. Our tenants created some frozen sculptures.
Por la mañana, terminamos de quitar la nieve. Nuestros inquilinos crearon unas esculturas congeladas.
That afternoon we went to the local Teatown Reserve to go snowshoeing.
Por la tarde, fuimos a una reserva local que se llama Teatown para caminar con nuestras raquetas de nieve.
Kahlua came with us, and as you can see she loved it.
Kahlua nos acompañó y como se puede ver le encantó.
Douglas wore shorts, of course. We only saw one other person on our walk, and he stopped to take a picture of the crazy man out walking in snowshoes and shorts.
Douglas llevaba los pantalones cortos, por supuesto. Sólo vimos a otra persona durante la caminata, y él se paró a tomar una foto del loco caminando en la nieve con raquetas y pantalones cortos.
It was a stunning day.
Era un día súper-hermoso.
It is a shame that we did not get a snow day off of school, but I am happy that it finally snowed. Let’s hope that it is not the last snow this winter.
Es lástima que no perdimos un día de clases, pero estoy feliz de que por fin nevó. Ojalá que no sea la última vez este invierno.
Happy Homemaking!
¡Feliz hogar!
poor ponche! no snow for him. what about creme? does she tolerate it? kahlua is hilarious! you look so pretty with snow in your hair 🙂 and douglas is NUTS. great pictures!
Thank you. Poor Ponche indeed! Creme seems to like the snow. She was out in it for a little bit digging around. She would have liked to explore more, but I did not let her.
Very smart to go bilingual. Glad you and Douglas are having fun in the snow. I haven’t been outside for days and am enjoying being housebound. Charlie, not so much. Jo@ Let’s Face the Music
I hope you have dug yourselves out by now.
I like this format! Maybe I will learn a little Spanish vocabulary. I tried to read the Spanish first. (I have not studied Spanish so you can imagine it wasn’t easy for me, but I usually got the gist.)
Yes, Douglas IS nuts. Beautiful pictures … I would love snowshoeing there! Maybe Ponche needs a snowsuit and boots?
I am glad that you like the bilingual blog. I have been afraid to include the Spanish and have people not like it. You can come out here to go snowshoeing anytime! In winter that is. The snowshoes do not work that well when there is no snow.
There’s so much snow! The cat and the dog seemed to have fun!
It is melting too fast. Hopefully it snows again soon.
