That is very cool.

And much better than temps in the single digits.

My crew is heading out the door for a neighborhood sledding date at Madison Park. Also, the library just announced they're closing at 5pm, which is crazy because they never close, except I had today off, so oh well.

Snowmaggedon has begun. We're supposed to get 5-8 inches by tomorrow morning. I stopped at the grocery on my home from a doctor appointment (he is not happy with my blood pressure and gave it a good talking-to) and man, I've never seen that grocery so packed. I just wanted cat food and chocolate! Get out of my way, people buying enough supplies to save the Donner party!

I just got an invitation on Facebook to a "Level 1 Emergency Snowman Build" in the park in my neighborhood.

Fun! I'm waiting for snow to arrive here. We've had some flurries, but nothing's sticking yet. Meanwhile, there's a hawk just chilling in a tree outside my living room window. I hear him all the time, but I hardly ever see him.

My mother decided she could walk to Goodwill to drop some stuff off, so I was going with her on my way to get my brows done, but about a half a block from the house, she decided it was too cold. Classic Mother.

There's a sad little wren sitting on a shrub next to her snowed-under birdbath. Sorry, little wren. No baths for a few days. But the birdfeeder is restocked, so you've got millet!

Oh, there goes the first vehicle crawling by on the snow-covered street. Be brave, little driver, it's not even icy yet!

I have committed a decadence that isn't decadent. As part of an ongoing "Yay, you did good!" rewards program, I got a $25 gift card to JoAnn's. I just spent some time on their website and selected several things, with the application of a 20% off everything discount because of the holiday weekend. There was 3$ left over, so I paid with the money that's been accruing in my PayPal account from eBay. So I have new crafty stuff with found money!

Woo hoo!

No snow in sunny Seattle.

So bored.

We just had 15 minutes of snow flurries. The mountains have a very light frosting on them. People went to the windows and pointed in amazement. In Utah.
