It was here first

The monster storm that has worked its way across the country made its first stop here on the west coast. We are no strangers to snow here in the foothills, but this was truly a sight to behold. I admit, we didn't go out in it all that much since there was so much of it. J tried her best to trudge through the few tires tracks that were cut through our street but eventually the effort was too much for her. Add to that her refusal to wear mittens and our snow day involved enjoying the snow day from the inside.
Zami, on the other hand, fully appreciates the magnificence of a foot and a half of fresh powder.
And I appreciated an extra day home with my family, since I couldn't get to work.

Very cool - an early White Christmas! We've managed two 'dustings' - enough to screw traffic in a city with 7 hills - but not enough for the payback of fun and / or pretty!

As for no mittens - send her out w/o them and she'll put them on soon enough! ;)

hugs - aus and co.

Looks beautiful!! I have only seen one white Christmas in my lifetime and it was the December after a major hurricane devistated our area. It was also my parents first White Christmas and they were in their late 60's and early 70's at the time!!! My kids would LOVE it!!!
