Things started to look grim Sunday evening. I was supposed to go to Sequim early Monday, but that quickly changed once the snow started falling.
Monday - more snow.
Tuesday - more snow.
Wednesday - more snow.
Thursday - Ice! Oh, and more snow.
Friday - finally a thaw!
All in all, we only got about 6 inches, but it was enough to keep us all home all week. I couldn't make it to work on Tuesday, and the UW closed its campus the rest of the week. I ended up having a bad cold, so I couldn't take advantage of the snow days. One of these days, I WILL finish unpacking!
Kaylee mostly enjoyed the snow. Or at least, she liked preparing to go out in the snow. She would bring us her hat and coat and boots. But once she was out in it, she didn't like walking around too much.
Oh. And sledding can be scary:

Probably my favorite part of snow in Seattle is the region's reaction. From fear to excitement to disappointment to anger and to relief, I find the whole thing hilarious. I find it so funny how we all FREAK out and then get mad when people make fun of us for FREAKING out. But, in reality...snow in Seattle is a scary thing. Its slushy and quickly turns to ice. It is impossible to navigate the many many steep hills and lets be honest...most of us are not used to driving in it. We're a city that gets snow about once or twice a year. And it doesn't make us wimpy...it makes us inexperienced. I'm ok with that. But I don't think you can compare Midwest to Seattle. I'm sure those Minnesotans would have issues too here. But still, the hoopla? More entertaining than some recent movies I've seen.
