Well, we are on day 3 of being snowed in here, which doesn't take much here in Seattle, land of the mild winter! On Wednesday night, it started snowing, and Lonnie barely made it home in time; he was skidding all over the place with his crappy tires on his way home. Here is what our front yard looked like then:
We got about 6 inches that night, within a couple hours. Thats a LOT for these parts! I guess we in West Seattle were hit harder than some other parts of the city, because from pictures on tv it looks like other parts are somewhat bare. But the temps stayed below freezing, so it stuck around Thursday and Friday, and after a nice walk in the nippy weather our house still looked like this:
Since our cars suck at this snow and ice biz, we have been housebound. The road in front of our house is still packed snow and ice, and we watched our neighbor totally spin out, unable to move past her driveway yesterday. Today we started seeing some SUVs and trucks go by occasionally, and of course the mailman, who has chains. We have gotten some mighty big icicles on our house...
Though she did go out with us in the carrier for our walk, and got to look and touch the snow from our front porch on a couple occasions, we finally got the obligatory baby snow pics today. I think she was a confused at the whole ordeal...
