Snow

 

"You ain't going nowhere" indeed. All three major mountain passes across the state are closed in both directions today. 

The Methow Valley expects several feet of snow, enough to close the schools and shorten business and clinic hours in town. They're used to snow of course, so that's saying something. 

The girl's chickens snowed in. Their coop looks like a cozy alpine hut. And my little river house must be just about buried. I'd like to experience such a big snow storm someday.

Is there anything like the deep silence of falling snow at night? And waking up to that indescribable snow light? Anyway, a banner winter for our neighbor's driveway snow plow business. 

The snow in Seattle never materialized, just more days of cold rain ahead. What was on the ground finally melted, ditto the icy sidewalks. So we can walk around again without worrying about breaking our necks. So that's a good thing.
