It's been snowing the past two days. Normally we get one or two snowstorms a year in Puget Sound. Some years none at all. Two to three inches is a big snowfall around here. When I took these pictures around 3 this afternoon we had 4 1/2 inches. I checked a little while ago and it's up to 6 inches. We expect another 3 to 4 inches tonight. A veritable blizzard.

The snow covered biomass leaning up against my car is not normally there. Those branches came down this morning. My daughter Katie drove the 5 miles out and back to Baby Island to see her mom. It took 3 hours. Trees down everywhere. She counted 9 trees leaning on power lines. My son Robby had a branch puncture the roof above his bed. All is frozen so he and Hannah aren't worried. Until it thaws. We still have power but the south end of the Island is out.

That little truck tried to make it up the hill yesterday. The driver came to her senses and parked it.

Our back yard. It really is pretty. I was off to shake the branches on the little maple to get the snow off.

Apparently Seattle is just starting to get snow. This is a picture I've never seen. The Seattle Seahawks playing in the snow at home tonight on Monday Night Football. They beat Green Bay. Green Bay must not be used to snow.
