However, we have snow. Lots of snow. This is the Northwest, not the Great White North -- what gives?!
We've been making do with half an inch of snow here and there, and with people not knowing how to drive when it's falling from the sky (it's just fluffy rain, people!) and then I braved the full inch or so of snow, ice and slush down our hill Saturday morning. (We live 800 ft. above sea level, which isn't that big a deal for most of the country, but when the rest of the Puget Sound area is at or below sea level, and 800 ft. is actually high enough to change some cooking/baking directions, and having broken my primary hand in a snow-related car accident 6 years ago, spending 4 months on pain killers that I should have had anti-psychotic chasers for... "Brave" is a pretty good description for going out in that.)
This morning, we woke to several inches...
This is a potted Imperial maple outside the office window that had just started to bud, and then the BBQ on the other side, whose snow has joined with the railing's snow.
I'm thinking some shoveling will be in order, assuming we actually end up going anywhere...
...since the car is certainly blocked in. (While the Honda Insight hybrids are excellent in snow and ice, due to their heavy batteries and narrow tires, the low frame profile rather prohibits getting through snow, as it often high-centers on the snow between tire tracks.) Nope, it's a truck day if we head out to vaulting today.
Also notice the walkway lights, and how one of them is all but buried.
On the bright side, hubby and I will be planning bathtub tiles with brown paper, and I might manage to get some jewelry made. (New porcelain beads came in at work. Check 'em out!)
