Snowed IN in Seattle.

Crazy enough, the weather people were right...

Last night we got dumped on. During the middle of the night, we were surprised to hear thunder, see lightning, and hear hail. When we woke up this morning, there was about 4-6 inches of snow on the ground on top of a layer of ice.

No one is getting anywhere unless it is via sled. Literally.

We have been watching the news all morning on the people who have tried, without much success, to get somewhere. These same people, after trying, then were shown on the news walking down freeways and roads when they determined that it was not safe to drive. Seriously.

And currently, it is still continuing to dump. It is a winter wonderland. I am drinking tea, working some, watching it snow (and watching the cats try to attach the snow through the window... I don't think they get it) and occasionally getting up to see if I can see people playing Sesame Street on ice on the road outside. Huge SUVs with chains were just slipping and sliding down the rather flat road (for Seattle) outside of our house. It is beautiful... especially from in here. I love it!
