this past weekend was the first of a few winter storms hitting the pacific northwest. in the next few hours we will be getting a combination of a few inches of snow, some freezing rain, then some more snow again. this is an event that only happens once a year or so, but usually not this bad. instead of spending money on plows and clean-up vehicles, it’s better for the whole city to shut down for a few days. kinda funny, but understandable.
i just checked the forecast and we are in a winter weather warning of snow and freezing rain from 6am this morning until 10am on thursday. whew.

either way, we are enjoying this familiar weather and look forward to getting up in the mountains for some skiing, snow shoeing, and cross-country skiing.
