White Powder

raloriaI was just outside for about 10 minutes to measure our snow total so far.
We've got 3 inches, as of midnight (Sunday).
Except for the cold (it's currently 25 degrees) and the wind battering my face with the tiny snowflakes, I was thoroughly enjoying myself. Snow like this is so rare around here that when we do get it I like to go out and enjoy it. Most times it's like this...late at night (because that's normally when we get snow). It's quiet, the sky is a mauvy pink and everything that normally looks black and creepy in the darkness is now blanketed in white powder.
There was one fairly strong wind gust while I was out there, but I held onto my hat (literally, to keep it over my ears) and walked away from the taller evergreen trees along our east fence just in case. The winds are supposed to die down in a few hours, which is good news. However, the snow is supposed to keep up until mid-day Sunday, so who knows how many inches we'll have by then.

Check out how the radar looked over WA, Oregon & British Columbia at about 10 p.m. Saturday night. Even though part of it is green, that's all coming down as snow. And yep, even Vancouver got more snow (though I'm assuming Jensen & Jared are home in Texas with their families this close to Christmas). |
