Snowmageddon 2012

Five days later and I am happy to report that our power is back on! 

The snow started on Monday, as you can see we got a bit of it. From the front it doesn't look too bad, but the photo showing Jacks having to jump thought it may provide better perspective.  By Wednesday morning we had about 3' of the white stuff, that is unheard of around here.

 
Snow in the PNW  is wet and heavy, very heavy.  So, with our large amount of snow came widespread power outages.  Needless to say our power went out Wednesday and came back on this afternoon.  I'm not complaining though, it is much sooner than what was projected.  According to the PSE work schedule we were not slated to have power until Wednesday. 

You may wonder (probably not) what a person does when they have no power or heat, other than huddle under covers.  I needed to work so I spent Friday evening and all day Saturday sitting on the floor of a local Barns and Noble that had power.  While I usually love bookstores I quickly grew to hate my work local, leading to my being surlier that usual.  Hopefully my co-workers understood.  Matt had a slightly better time of it.  He had to go down to his trap a couple times to save things from sinking, once that was done he focused on home improvement projects.  Below you will see him scrapping the awful floral wallpaper from our bathroom. 


Now we are getting rain, let the flooding begin...
