We definitely enjoyed the snow at our house. It snowed consistently for 2-3 days and we ended up with a total of 8 inches. I got to stay at home since my clinic day was cancelled and just relax. Chet still had to go to work but being a good Montana boy he had no issues driving in the snow.
It was like a winterwonderland though... and quite pleasant. Down south of Seattle there was a ton of freezing rain and power outages, but we just got fluffy white stuff.
For awhile, it was even hard to keep up with shoveling the snow. Doesn't our Subaru look great sitting in the snow? It got around quite well. We heart you Subaru. ;)
While Chet was sleeping, I got a chance to watch folks sled down a huge hill near our house. It was definitely interesting to see who is in our neighborhood. It is very diverse...
I also went for a walk in a small wetland park near our house. It was pretty covered in snow.
And of course, here is our house in the snow. The mossy grass is covered up... I think it looks nicer that way.
The next day, as the rain was washing the snow off the roads, we head up to Stevens Pass to go snowboarding. I have to say that it was a great snow day. Due to the dumping of snow that week, there was lots of beautiful powder which is something of a rare happening. The snow was light and we got some great fresh tracks. Probably not quite as good as the days prior when snow was dumping everywhere, but still awesome.
Chet also started something with his friend, Jason... snow tailgating! Some brats and caramelized onions in the snow, yes please!
