Is this impressive or what?



The picture on the top is the snowman the kids built on Thursday. The other picture is what it looks like today (note the dazed bird who tried to fly through our window). Note how there were patches of slush before. Sigh. Snow expected all week. We tried to both get my car up the driveway yesterday and buy chains for my car, but neither attempts took. It seems a 45 degree slope trumps all wheel drive. And my tires are the wrong size to allow chains on my car, or something. It's a bit weird. Something about the clearance.

Still no tree and I guess I have to complete my xmas shopping online, provided UPS can deliver stuff. Good thing Jason was able to do some shopping yesterday in his trusty and small VW GTI.

Ok, ok it's more than a dusting now. Still it's no ten inches but i understand it' snot exactly what you expect in Portland. I have to say I've never seen a driveway like your here. No way you can back out of that. Can you turn around.

We have now lapsed into blizzard conditions here with blowing snow and temps well below zero. Lovely.

The added bonus is the snow is now frozen due to the frozen rain we had all day. So even walking or playing in it is difficult. This is a lot like the snow we had the first xmas Ethan was here. We were really trapped then.
