Gypsy-Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker know how to have a good time — rain, shine or snow!
On Tuesday, Jan. 21, the Munchausen by proxy survivor, 33, and her boyfriend enjoyed a rare snow day in southern Louisiana. Both shared content of the fun winter moments via social media.
“Snow storm in southern Louisiana,” Blanchard wrote over a photo shared to her Instagram Stories. The image was taken from inside her home as she looked outside at the blanket of snow covering her yard.
Another picture gave her followers a glimpse of her current situation, which included patio furniture and grass also having a layer of snowflakes.
Her final upload of the day was a selfie video of Blanchard wearing a cream-colored hooded sweater as she smiled and waved to the camera, urging her fans in similar situations to “stay warm.”
She proudly showed off her backyard, which by then, had accumulated much more snow than seen in her previous pictures.
Urker and their family dog also seemed to have a good time on their snow day.
The canine playfully ran around in their backyard, exploring the unfamiliar setting and sniffing around.
According to the National Weather Service, Louisiana was issued an extreme cold warning that remains in effect until 9 a.m. CST on Wednesday, Jan. 22. The forecast meant that parts of southeast Louisiana could see “dangerously cold wind chills as low as 7 above.”
One person who did not make a cameo in Blanchard and Urker’s clips was their daughter Aurora Raina Urker. However, it’s likely the cold temps weren’t the reason.
After welcoming their baby girl just in time for the new year, the Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up subject shared on her Instagram Stories that she would not be sharing videos or photos of her child online.
“To everyone asking, No, I will not be posting pictures of Aurora,” the first-time mom said in early January. “I understand everyone’s excitement and we appreciate the support, but we value the privacy and safety of our daughter.”
“We continue to express love towards our supporters and thank you for following our journey ❤️.”
The Lifetime star recently chose to live a more private life since her December 2023 prison release.

Aurora was born on Dec. 28, 2024, exactly one year after her mother was released from Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri after eight years behind bars.
“All the things that I wanted in a mother, I want to give to this baby,” Blanchard previously told PEOPLE. “My mother told me I was never going to get married, raise a family, have kids or do any of that. So, to be here, standing on my own two feet and expecting my first baby, that’s something I’ve reached as an achievement and a personal goal.”
