Seattle is undergoing some really intense weather. We've had freezing temperatures and snow storms and sleet and ice storms the past few days. The power has gone out at our places of employment and at some of our co-workers homes (but not for us, thank goodness!).
We are grateful that Matt's work is closed because of the power outages and hope that my evening work shift will be canceled as well. I really don't wish to be driving on these roads, especially after dark. Our tiny car was not built to handle such wild conditions, nor have I much experience with them. (Update: my shift tonight was cancelled!)
We are safe and warm right now. Drinking lots of hot tea & hot chocolate, eating chili & oatmeal. Thank goodness I stocked up on food and good library books a few days ago! Thus far, we are enjoying being snowed in and are hoping to remain so until the weather & road conditions become more reasonable.

| The winter wonderland we woke up yesterday! |
 |
| When the snow was just beginning.... |
 |
| Snow on all the plants & cars |
 |
| Sledders in our backyard |
 |
The snow after the sledders got to it. It melted some yesterday
& then refroze during the night. The snow isn't so soft and fluffy anymore. |
 |
| Finally we were brave enough to venture out for a few minutes! |
 |
| Ice clinging to the tree branches. |
 |
| Icicles on the bushes |
 |
| Back indoors with my cookie monster feet to keep me warm! |
Ummm, I can't believe Matt wore only a robe and pajama pants outside
