Kelis braved a snowstorm in California over the weekend

She joked: "We've been outside for a while, but we had all this snowboarding gear. So God is good. And I figured if you're going to be in the situation, you should at least look your best. So I'm wearing layers to keep warm."

Kelis is a mom to son Knight, 13, whom she shares with ex-husband Nas. She is also a mother to a daughter named Galilee, 2, and a 7-year-old son, Shepherd, whom she shares with her husband Mike Mora. Mora died at age 37 two years after being diagnosed with stomach cancer. 

While the singer did not feature any of her three kids in the video, she shared that they were making the best out of the situation as they waited outside in the middle of the area's first blizzard warning since 1989. 

"I've got my light on, thank God, because it's pitch black out here," she continued. "Silver boots, little reflective action. You know, things could be worse. This is ridiculous. Rescue fashion! This is rescue fashion. See? Always be prepared."
