Mountlake terrace is snowy!

See the car buried in snow up ahead?

Edmonds is snowy!

snowed in but not for much longer

Apparently we got five inches in Mukilteo. I believe it-- the piles weighing down the bushes out the dining room window have definitely grown. I'm excited to get out and about. Marko called around to find the only brunch place open: Scott's. YUM.

I think we'll cancel restaurant night-- Anne and Alex are sledding down hills near their house, probably not a good idea to have them drive on the same hills.

It is officially colder in Greeley than here-- 12 degrees versus 28.

No more tracks left in the snow

snow drifts

We have snow drifts! Sort of. It would be interesting to open any of the garage doors right now. My lights flickered-- I immediately plugged my iphone in. It's charged almost fully, but if I end up playing sim city for hours of entertainment in the dark, I need to make sure there's a full charge.
It's a tad windier now, from my armchair viewpoint. I went out and tried to make a snowman earlier. Snow is too light and doesn't stick. I used to hate that kind of snow when I was little.
Well, I'll get back to my DVR until I'm tired enough to sleep.

Mukilteo snow plows

Are doing their best! It is still snowing, though.

snow day







All my schools were cancelled today, but Jeff and I made a trip down to Seatac. He is probably on his plane now, off to Greeley and 18 degree weather. In Mukilteo, it's 27 and snowy. Check out the course of my drive home:
The top row includes three pictures from Mukilteo: first, Harbour Pointe Blvd. Pretty white! Then our front walk and a snowman a neighbor made and dressed.
The second row has a picture of an articulated bus near West Seattle Bridge. That HOV lane isn't always the way to go. Then, me on Chennault Beach near Electroimpact. Finally, you can see Chennault Beach Road near the tennis courts. It's slippery on that curve.
Now, I'm having hot chocolate and watching tv. Lovely snow day activities.
