Snow!
Gem’s first day playing in the snow.
Gem’s first day playing in the snow.
As long as we’ve lived here, this play area has been full of kids during daylight hours. While it’s usually empty overnight, I’ve never seen it look as lonely as it did Wednesday, when we hit a record 105 degrees in Seattle.
Playtime cancelled on account of sunshine.
One year ago: and you thought haggis was strange
This city is just not equipped to handle snow; everything shuts down and only major arterials are plowed. The accumulation this year is really out of the ordinary, and this weather has lasted longer than I remember as well.
We had to get out of the house yesterday, so we walked to the lake. The snow was deep enough that the one block hike was exhausting.
I was blown away by the number of birds in the water. I can always count on this spot for some bird watching, but not this many birds.
Moments before this photo was taken, the sky was black and I couldn’t see the water. When the sun broke through I was shocked to see all the sailboats. If you look closely in the upper left hand corner you might be able to see a faint rainbow as well.
