First Snow

[blueyecicle]

Well, I had hoped for snow this year since it is our last year in Oregon. And usually we do not get any! But in 5 minutes this is what I got on my front porch! Woohooo...let the season begin!



I doubt my boys will sleep tonight I could barely keep them inside! Time to break out my butterscotch Schnapp Hot cocoa!

I love the big fluffy snowflake that is to the side. These are stickin!

Re: First Snow

Watching the Seahawks game on MNF tonight and seeing the snow made me think of the Northwest...

Then I read my local online paper and found out that Bellingham is virtually shut down because of the snow

I miss the snow... but I don't miss it that much!

Hope you guys in the PNW and wherever else it snows have a safe winter.

Re: First Snow

It was snowing here today too, quite pretty. Actually at one point it was:

a) Snowing
b) Sleeting
c) Sunny
d) Blue sky visible

All at once. Gotta love PNW weather.

None of it stuck down here though. We may get another go at that tonight...

Re: First Snow

I wish I could have taken a picture of my cul de sac tonight. Almost everyone (including adults) came out and took part in snowball fights. It was a great bonding time for the neighborhood. My guess is that we've had about 8 inches fall so far, and it's still coming down. I'm crossing my fingers that the feds shut down tomorrow so that I can stay home with the kids and go sledding.

Re: First Snow

Do you know that I know plenty of working class people that don't even own a pair of pants or a jacket here in Hawaii... not because they can't afford it... only because they don't need them?

On the other hand... 1stwahine has a slipper drive for kids that don't even have things to put on their feet because of economics here in Hawaii.

We are lucky that we live in Hawaii...!

Re: First Snow

Presently anticipating another evening-commute disruptive storm system in the Puget Sound area today...snow tonight, turning to rain overnight as the temperatures move back above the freezing point.

Re: First Snow

A little dark, but here is our view up Queen Anne Hill in Seattle last night, just as the snow was ending:

Did you catch the nimrods who were sledding down the QA counterbalance last night, too? Sheesh. I swear, every time it ices over, at least one idjit gets hurt when he slides underneath a car or into a telephone pole!

Yes it is. The AF was trying out the "snow" setting on her new digital camera, and this was the best result.

Nah - we were on QA Ave as the snow started to get heavy though, visiting my mother in a care facility, but we walked home before they closed the hill. We've walked up to watch the nimrods in the past (which makes us accomplices in a way, doesn't it?) - you see that kind of stupidity once, you've seen enough.
