Yes, as I said, we don't get it much here in Seattle, so when it falls, it's kind of a big deal. Sorry if you had to watch it on your news. My dad and brother even checked in with us to make sure we were alright because the media was hyping it a bit down in Reno.
So I figured I'd share a little of what we had:
After two inches the first day, before the six
we got yesterday. Quite pretty.
we got yesterday. Quite pretty.

That sheen is after we had freezing rain, on top
of 6 inches of snow, and the the temps plummeted.
Pure sheet ice. Awesomesauce.
And this morning:
Our 6 inches of snow has a crust of solid
ice on top of it. Everything is solid ice.
It's going to be a rough day for anyone trying
to get out this morning. I'm staying home.
And hoping my drooping, iced over birch tree makes it.

Oh how I miss the snow!! We haven't even had a hint this year in SC.
It sucks to have to live through that, but it sure makes a pretty picture. :-)
It can be pretty to look at (without the ice of course) but I wouldn't want to be out in that weather. Stay warm and I'm crossing my fingers for the birch.
The ice scares me. Reminds me of a time when we had a bad storm like that. It knocked out our power for 3 days...three! I was heating my hands by candlelight.
Be safe out there!!
Awesome pictures! Looks like a winter wonderland!
Lucky. I love the snow.
Did you hear about the LA Times blog post calling us a bunch of wimps? The nerve!
It would have been beautiful if we hadn't have lost power! I hope yours is back up. I will have great hope for your birch tree!
