Over the weekend many areas of Seattle saw snow, yet at our house we remained snow free. Then on Tuesday big snowflakes started to fall. Mike’s office sent everyone home just after noon and by the time he got home there were a few inches to play in. Thomas immediately wanted his “boots, hat” and “mih-ens” on.
It snowed a little more on Wednesday and by Thursday it was freezing rain. Although there was not too much snow at our house, many places in the Seattle area had much more. Thus making it difficult to drive on the steep hills and narrow roads. Both Mike and I were warned about this and kept to our neighborhood for a few days.
On Thursday morning while it was raining Thomas and I made an inside “(s)nowman.” He loved using the glue and sticking everything on. When we were finished he couldn’t wait to go show Mike his creation.
We also joined the others in the neighborhood who were out snow shoing, sliding, and skiing. Thomas made about 4 runs down the sidewalk before he was ready for some “warm chak chak” (hot chocolate.)
We were very thankful to make it through our 3 days of snow, rain and non stop weather coverage on local channels. Many people lost their power we were also lucky to keep ours throughout the storm.
