Snowed In!

We are having a storm of epic proportions here in the Puget Sound- as much as 5 inches of snow!!!
It's kind of amazing how such a small amount of snow just brings everything to an absolute halt. But really, our town just aren't equipped to handle snow, nobody has snow tires, people are very scared to drive on snowy roads, and once the freezing rain starts, the road do get very scary. The best thing to do is stoke up a fire in the woodstove, put a pot of soup on to cook all day, and hunker down at home. Really, who could ask for more?

Well, maybe one more thing; a walk in all the winter glory. Ginny's never had so many layers of clothes on (thanks Stewarts for the cosy mittens!)


Even the tree in our front yard is far more lovely covered in snow.


We headed up on the logging roads through the tree farm behind our house and followed a power line out to this view:


Happy campers all bundled up!


A few last shots from our house: the row of snowy mail boxes


And our icicles
