Sunday Afternoon

I went out to Fred Meyer around 1pm today and stocked up on food, in case the weather guy is right and this snow stays with us all week. I could see the sun, big in the sky, trying to shine thru the gray clouds to no avail and now it's obvious what those clouds were all about. They were full of snow. It's coming down pretty good now, the road out in front of my place is white and it's collecting on the trees, etc as well. And it's still below freezing so it will stick around. There's some little ones visiting next door and they are outside whooping & hollering, having fun in the falling snow. This picture was just taken (Sunday 4:15pm), out my front room window.

Bob's on his way to Pasadena, he's covered lots of ground today but was slowed almost to a halt going thru Portland. He said there is compact snow and ice on the highway running thru Portland and cars & semi trucks were all over the freeway. He managed to snake his way thru all the wrecked cars and jack knifed semi's with no mishaps. He's was hoping to get thru the Siskiyou Mountains in northern California today but last time he called he said it didn't look good. Darkness was closing in and the snow was pretty heavy.

I'm thankful I don't have to go to work anymore......snow was not an excuse to be late or not there at all. I'll be home in my nice warm house thinking about all those out there heading for the office in the morning.
