Does Matt think he's going to work tomorrow? At least it's supposed to get above freezing tomorrow. It's beautiful picture, though.

My crazy kids have gone to the pet store to help Santa get the frogs on my grandson's list. It continues to snow and I hope they get home soon.

Just got a message from my husband at Seattle Flight Service. He says to expect 8 more inches.

I think my hubby is working from home tomorrow. We've got over a foot on the ground now (evening)...and more coming, you say?

It's beginning to look a lot like...Ontario, Canada!!

Wonderful picture... I cannot see myself slipping and sliding along that long and lonely road...

I've never been there either. So this is what Ontario looks like,,,,

Lorraine Hart said...

Yes Mizu, this is what Ontario looks like in the winter. My 87 yr.-old father just shoveled his driveway yesterday...to have the snow plow come along and pile a mountain at the end.

What happened to kids who saw a great money-making opportunity with snow shovels?

Kim Thompson said...

Lorraine, I look at the road with a slight amount of horror!

My folks are in Tacoma (Dad's recovering from recent surgery). They have called their friends in Longbranch to check on them regularly. My goodness, they are so prepared and hearty souls on the Key Pen!

Great picture, where on KP was it taken?

Stephanie Frieze said...

They are in front of computer games, Lorraine. Go outside? Are you kidding?

Lorraine Hart said...

The view is heading south on the last curl of the S-bend through Home, just past the bridge.

My girlfriend and I used to make one dollar apiece for shoveling neighbours' driveways...made for a good Christmas fund in Ontario. In the summer we would wash cars for the same price. Of course, this was circa 1966.

Kim, I'm glad your folks are in Tacoma right now. I hope they both stay inside and safe, getting strong again.

Yes, people out here on the Key Pen are prepared...and concerned for their neighbours. Good folks.
