More Snow


Last night we had the Pacific Northwest version of a blizzard. The snow wasn't drifting down from the sky gracefully and gently...noooo, it was coming down in sheets, buffeted by strong gusts of wind! BRRRR. Church was cancelled today (no wonder there) which is kind of sad, not only because the Sunday before Christmas, there always is a special program in Sacrament meeting, but also because now I only have ONE Sunday left with my current batch of 4 year olds. Oooh well. I was glad I gave them all their Christmas gifts at the Christmas party on Friday night.

3000 people were stranded at SeaTac airport last night. Some of them are still there, waiting for flights home for Christmas. Hotels near the airport are all filled up, so those poor folks had to sleep in those uncomfortable airport chairs. I've done that. It's not a good time.

This morning Tom and I ventured out to explore the frozen wasteland of our neighborhood. We saw a couple cars going by but most of the inhabitants were staying inside. That is where we're going to stay now. The weather forecast is for more snow. Liz flies in tomorrow from Anchorage. Hope she can get here!
