The weather man predicted more snow last week than Seattle has seen in 25 years. It turns out that its wasn't the biggest snowstorm we've seen but it was enough to cancel school ALL week and make a huge mess. The first few days were the fun snow days that quickly turned into the non-drivable, slush, and ice. The ice turned into freezing rain and an ice storm that had us lose power. By the end of the week my patience for this storm was fading quickly. Today we were finally back to normal...almost, a two hour delay of school and a whole lot of yard work for us in the near future. The ice storm made a mess of our trees, breaking some major limbs off and lots of pine tree limbs everywhere.
Lucy's first snowfall!
She also tried a little sledding with the rest of us!
Natalie making a snow angel. As you can see our winter snow gear is slim pickens. Nat was squeezed into a WAY too small snow suit with rain boots and knit gloves. Not the best for playing out in the snow.
We are fortunate to live around family that let us come hang out at their houses for awhile when our power was off. THANK YOU!!! We stayed warm in our beds at night but it was COLD in the house.
As we were driving to Bellevue to visit with DALE!! we saw the BP gas station bears covered in snow. Julia said to me, "Those bears look like skunks!" When I turned and looked at them it made me laugh. They really did!
