BRRRRRR, BUT BEAUTIFUL!!

Yes, we’ve been hit by a cold snap. We have several days of temperatures not out of the 20’s, they say, but I’ve seen our icicles dripping this afternoon. It really didn’t seem all that cold to me this afternoon, but we also didn’t get the extreme wind they were forecasting. I think they got more of that in other areas. This morning we had at least a good four inches of beautiful, pristine snow here. Quite possibly more. Underneath the snow? Pure ice! I walked to Safeway this morning to get a quart of oil for the minivan. It was making noises, and Stanglands asked to borrow it for a week or so while their’s is being repaired. (Seems Robin backed into another car in her driveway. Oops!) Anyway, I checked out the roads while I was on foot. Boy, treacherous. And it will be worse the next few mornings as all the slush freezes at night. Fortunately, I don’t need to be at work until one o’clock tomorrow, and nine o’clock the next two days. Although, I expect to be ready to take Jeana’s shift tomorrow at 7:30 because she lives in Mountlake Terrace, has an old jeep with no heater or defroster, so she may prefer, if I’m offering, to let some other cars beat the ice down a bit before she ventures out.

Anyway, I thought you’d like a few pics. Wish you were here! Do you???
