Here are some photos I took a week ago today when Raf and I went for a walk in our Neighborhood. We were having a snow day and still trying to dig out from under the 24 inches of snow that was dumped on us the day before. This is an intersection. Yeah, the side streets were pretty bad. Still are not the best but better than they were.

Still, when the sun is out, like it is at this moment as I type this, it is pretty. Very pretty, actually.

Since the “Big Dump” last week on Wednesday and Thursday we have gotten more snow. We had pretty significant snowstorms on Sunday and Christmas Eve, each bringing at least 5 inches. Things are supposed to warm up tomorrow and it’s is supposedly supposed to rain or be a really heavy, wet snow. This brings worries about the roof. We have A LOT of snow on our roof. Raf is going out today to buy a special device that you can use to rake snow off the roof.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was surprisingly good, despite the horrific weather. I enjoyed my family time immensely.

    I think of you every time your city is mentioned on the news. I thought we had it bad in Seattle, but then I hear about what you’re getting and I count my blessings.

    I spent an hour this afternoon reading Lois Lowry’s The Willoughbys. I’m sure that was a recommendation from you. Thank you, it was hilarious and wonderful! Kind of a funny book, though; I know lots of second graders who could read and comprehend the story but would not get the satire at all. Probably best for 4th grade or, even better, older. I always appreciate your recommendations, thanks again!

    I can’t believe the snow we’ve received. Glad to hear that you were able to dig out though.
