Who says it never snows here?
Dec. 20th, 2008 07:40 pmUsually, that's true. Or if it does snow, the snow only hangs around for a day or two, tops. This year however...
Snow started last Saturday. It hung around until Wednesday, when they predicted a big storm that didn't come--until Thursday. A couple more inches fell, which isn't much to people in the Midwest. But people in the Midwest don't have hills, so their perspective is different. In fact, Thursday there was enough snow that NordicBoy skied to work. Fortunately, it's only about four miles each way.
I've had a few snowy adventures: trying to get to Weight WAtchers only to discover they were closed; going grocery shopping and walking home through the snow; that sort of stuff. , Frankly, I've loved it. I baked a lot. That's always a good thing. Got all the prezzies together, although they're not wrapped, but that'll get done eventually. Got the stuff that needed shipping shipped out the day before the second snow hit. And managed to get to REI to pick up my order before people were coming over for gingerbread. You see, today was the annual Rankin-Bass Gingerbread party and NordicBoy and I hosted this year. The third snow started falling this afternoon while we were desecrating gingerbread. Here are a few choice pics from the festivities.
( Pics behind the cut... )
All in all, another successful gathering. In spite of the snow. :)
And now I'm snuggled up on the sofa with the cozy kitty, who is nicely full of smoked salmon. That's a good day.
