Snapper: Snow Again

Snow Again

The snow has more or less stopped falling. I am lucky with only about 14" to show for it, but many people I've talked to are in the 2-3 FOOT range. This is NOT normal for our little mild West Coast.

A friend of mine has been out of power and telephone for nearly 2 days now. It wouldn't be so bad, if she didn't have a 5 month old teething baby in need of formula. They've been making his eats on a Coleman stove but it's expected to hit -20 tonight. It's not going to be much fun for them. We've tried to convince them to go to my brothers tonight, but I'm not sure if they will take us up on it.

If you get past the horrendous roads, it really is beautiful. It took me just over 2 hours to get to work this morning, and it was white knuckle most of the way. However, it was just gorgeous. Trees glistening with fresh snow.

It truly is a work of art. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm a West Coaster through and through. I like my rain. I like mild temperatures. I want it back!
