winter!

We don't get snow in Seattle. Not much and not often, anyway...
I know, I know. Everyone thinks since we are a mere 2 hours south of the Canadian border, it must be cold here, but the Puget Sound keeps us mild so our winter temps rarely slip below the 40s.

But we got snow tonight! It's the most snow I've seen here in 3 or 4 years. Last year we didn't even get a dusting. I've always loved snow and still do...probably mostly because I can work right here from home and don't have to brave the roads. Since we don't get snow to speak of, we don't have snow plows. What we do have is tons and tons of hills. Hills and packed, wet snow don't go very well together, especially when you mix in a gaggle of drivers who never drive in snow!


I'm going to go make cocoa, if I can find some in the pantry. We so rarely have weather worthy of a cup of hot chocolate.....
