The snow is gone with the wind, at least around here. In terms of snow, it was a spectacularly unfair storm. The poor town of Snohomish, north of Seattle, has been cut off and without power all week, still buried under feet of snow. The Olympic Peninsula got hit especially hard. Stevens Pass is still closed because of fallen trees across the highway. Unbelievable amounts of snow fell in the high mountains.
Highway 2
Over in eastern Washington, the weather is brutal, even by their winter standards-- blizzards and single digit temps. Unlike Seattle, they don't close the schools with the first snowflake, so Amanda will probably have to drive to her district nurse job in Pateros today, 40 miles down the snowy, dark highway. Mothers never stop worrying. It goes with the territory.
Well, today is somewhat of a nothing day for me. No more excuses about driving down a tiny hill, so back to the treadmill this morning. But the first order of business? Pull a sopping fleece blanket off a very unhappy jasmine.
