Snow Day

Today (November 26th) it actually snowed in calm, temperate and mild Sequim! And snowed and snowed and snowed. This isn't dry powder snow either - it's wet and heavy and a real mess. As we were getting ready for church we watched the weather go from cold, to rain to snow. Weston was in awe and wanted to go outside. Tyler saw the snow and has spent the whole day calling it ba-bles (bubbles).

We made it to church, but half way through they canceled and sent everyone home hoping we could get home before it got worse or too dark (no one here really knows how to drive in or live in snow, even if they did it's been years and it's a little scary when an entire town doesn't know how to drive in wet, slick snow). When we got home, John was going to go shovel our neighbors walk-way and Weston wanted to go make snow balls. Tyler went along for the ride until it got too cold and then just wanted to be inside and was a little upset when I ventured out to take pictures of Weston and his 'snowballs'. I think to him - size (not density) is the prize factor!

But eventually it was time to come in. Weston was so cold - having gone through a few pairs of gloves until John's finally stayed on and dry, that his little hands were as red as his face. We made Stan's amazing hot chocolate and warmed up enough to eat a late lunch. Weston, who loved the idea of ice cream floats with hot chocolate. Ate the ice cream out of the bucket before it made it into the hot chocolate. And then had to go get more snow from outside to put in his bucket to make more ice cream! It was pretty funny!

We had probably 4" of snow now and most likely will get more as it is still snowing - 8 hours later. And it's a fairly heavy side blowing snow!

We are enjoying it though, it may be the only snow we get this season!
