It's just after 8:00 this morning and the world is white. The snow began around 2:00 PM. yesterday and continued well into the night. When I tumbled out of bed I was greeted by about 8 inches of very wet snow on the deck. During the night it weighed down the branches of the huge Cedar trees behind us on the hill. We were being bombed by gigantic snow balls dropping onto the roof. One Alder tree dropped alongside the house, scraping us but doing no damage. This morning I opened the garage door and discovered that three young alders had fallen across Cathy's sister's van. Doesn't look as if they did damage, but we won't know until we carefully cut them away. Meanwhile, it's snowing like a young blizzard. A white-out. We will probably lose contact with our internet and with Dish TV.
Right now I'm going to pull on boots and hike down the road to see if we could even get out if we had to.
Meanwhile it's snowing harder. Can there be a White, white out?
Happy Leap Year's Day!
