Sky in the snow ...

We had been hearing all week about how the Pacific NW was going to have an artic snap with snow coming down from Canada.  Schools were closed on Wednesday in preparation for the snow, I went to work as usual, the roads were clear of both traffic and snow/ice.  It did rain a little but in the afternoon the sun came out and we still hadn't seen any snow!

Yesterday morning we woke to a smattering of snow and I was all for going to work, the radio announced that one or two schools were closed and several more were starting late.  About an hour later the situation had changed dramatically, it was snowing heavily at home, the roads were disasterous, including SR520 and SR202 (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/photogalleries/localnews2008535804).  Novelty Hill road was closed completely and we could tell from the cameras at http://www.metrokc.gov/kcdot/mycommute/default.aspx and http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/routelist.aspx that it was not a good idea to travel.

We both worked from home yesterday and I took these photos of the yard ...

Here are some photos of Sky enjoying the snow ...

 

Although not snowing this morning, the roads are still treturous and the forecast is not good, see http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_121908WXB_snow_friday_DS.791e64ef.html andhttp://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/392939_snow20.html. We are once again working from home and Kohl and I have cancelled our visit to Evergreen Hospice again ... we missed last week as we were collecting Sky, yes, we've had him for a whole week now!
