Snow Job

We woke this morning to a fresh covering of snow...about 2 inches that covered everything in a blanket of white.

These pictures are from late morning, after the melting had begun.  By now most is gone, but winter looks like it is kicking in with a vengeance.  Over the next 5 days progressively colder air will be rolling into the Pacific Northwest...that's where we live.  Tomorrow we should get a bit above freezing, but after that we might not see the plus side of 32 degrees until next weekend, NEXT weekend, or even longer.  In fact, by next Tuesday and Wednesday the high temperatures, HIGH temperatures, will only be between 10 and 15 degrees!  During that time there is likely to be a little more snow, probably enough to cover the ground again, but since the air will also be getting progressively drier I don't expect anything major.  At least I hope not.  Either way, it is going to be a long winter!
