Snow in Seattle?

YEP.

Over the weekend, temperatures plummeted and all we have heard about it "winter storm 2008." It's actually quite amusing.

But, in all honesty, it is a little exciting. We hardly ever see snow here and if we do, it usually doesn't stick around longer than a day. Well, guess what?! We got a blanket of 2 inches of ice/snow on Saturday evening and it is STILL HERE!

And guess what else? They are predicting another 1-5 inches tonight! So weird.

Temperatures have been FREEZING. Like 20s. I think average for this time of year is usually 40s-50s. Seattle is a pretty temperate place to live which is why we rarely see snow. But apparently this artic air mass is giving us cold air + snow. It's pretty neat. The mountains are getting dumped on.

Tim's birthday was yesterday (Happy birthday, honey!) so he had a white, snowy birthday... not to mention the fact that this artic air is just fridgid so it's been completely clear and sunny when it's not snowing. It's a nice change for a city that doesn't really see much sun or snow this time of year. I am crossing my fingers for more of the same when we head back to Kansas City for the holidays in a week!
