SNOW!!

We were so surprised to see it snowing outside! The news usually causes a bunch of hype and makes snow out to be a HUGE deal here in Oregon. So, the news had not said anything in days or even hours prior to the snow coming. Which caused a little bit of a traffic problem for all of the unsuspecting people who were at work or out and about. I know it took our poor neighbor 5 hours to get home from work which usually takes her only 20 min. I guess the roads were a mess, people were stuck, and sliding everywhere.

We were some of the lucky ones who got to enjoy the beautiful snow. We were warm and inside our house when it started snowing at around 2:00. At that time the girls were taking a nap and it was a fun surprise when they woke up and the snow had arrived. Of course we dug out the hats and mittens and warm coats and they headed outside to play in the snow that had quickly covered everything. The neighbor kids all came out and they made snow jumps and the dads pulled them over on their sleds. The snow came and left rather quickly which is OK with me. Last year we were stuck at home for about 2 weeks. That was a little too long! I really hope it returns soon though for another short visit...as long as I am at home safe and warm to watch it from comfort of my own home.
