Let it Snow


The weather has been crazy recently. First there were freezing temperatures then snow then rain and now even more snow. There are probably 7-12 inches of snow outside right now and the freezing rain has just started. It's going to be a fun week. It's funny because at BYU nothing was canceled because of the snow. I still tromped to school in 2 feet of snow, but in Portland almost everything is closed when there is an inch of snow on the ground. Sounds a little pathetic but I guess it's just not common here. The roads are very slick so it is probably good to have as few people on the road as possible.

Church was canceled last week due to snow and it will probably be canceled again this week. We just hope the roads aren't too slick so we can make it over the hills to Tillamook to visit my parents and Valerie for Christmas. We picked Valerie up from the airport on Friday. We're glad that she made it here. After she landed they have pretty much shut down the airport. Almost all flights leaving Portland have been canceled until Sunday evening or Monday.

Hobbes has been enjoying the snow for small intervals through the day. The wind makes it feel so much colder that you can only stand being outside for a few minutes. Here are a few pictures I snapped of Hobbes enjoying the snow.

Here's Hobbes', "I'm ready to got inside now Mom" look!
