The snow started falling yesterday at about 7am. I left my car at work at 2pm when we had gotten about 5 inches. It snowed all afternoon and all night. Overall we ended up with just over 2 feet!! The picture above is the tree outside out apartment. I was up at 5 am watching for school closures (because we all know how excited I was to drive to get to work today). Spokane went for 10 years without a snow day and so far in the last calendar year we have gotten 7 days off. Marks and I decided to venture out by foot today. The busses were only running 4 routes today, so we had to walk about a half a mile to catch a bus to Safeway. We went to lunch and walked to Safeway and Target. There's something about the snow that brings out the goodness in people. We saw people stopping to push each other out of the snow, the city was giving out free bus rides, and one lady even offered to drive us home from the store with our groceries.This is how Marks found me when we got home......at least the cookies are suger-free!
We were taking the trash out tonight (which required me to get into my snow gear once again). I decided it was a great time for a photo op. I walked to a pretty tree outside our apartment.
It's up past my knees!
Okay, now how do I get up??AND.... tomorrow's another snow day! Just preparing myself for the trek to Canada!
