So this is what we woke up to this morning, and it was quite a surprise too I might add, since I have been paying absolutely no attention whatever to the daily forcasts. It's true that the snow word had been bantered around a bit, and there certainly was tangible evidence of it in the mountain areas and passes causing quite a bit of trouble for motorists, but when it came to talk of snowfall in the valley, I was a bit skeptical since the last three predictions didn't pan out. It's not really that cold either, my outdoor thermometer says 40 degrees so this can't last long....but in the meantime, ain't we got fun! Earlier this morning, and not wasting any time, Ginger made a couple of friends:
...a snowdog (I wish you could see his pinecone feet and bushy fir tree tail), and a little snowbaby. I'll be hanging out in today. With a hot cup of cocoa. Watching the melt.
Just yesterday I used one of your sunny weblog entries to express my desire for some sun. The weather does change quickly! The snow is pretty, though.

oooh, beautiful. I see Alicia got snow too, and when you said valley my thoughts went immediately to the Willamette Valley! Is that where you are? I grew up in Eugene! I miss Oregon so much sometimes, the beauty is incomparable. I'm now near Sacramento. Nice, but not Oregon!

Hello! Looks like the same kind of snow we are getting this year - a little dusting and then gone. Fun while it lasts though! I think your particular storm is headed my way now (south)...perfect crafting weather, I'd say.
