Yesterday it snowed off and on for most of the day. We got a good layer on the ground at our place and the flakes were so pretty! Katya was fascinated by it and Craig taught her "snow" which sounds an awful lot like "no." We made it to church, which is so close by, in our trusty Jeep but stayed in the rest of the day. We had babysat Addison overnight so Allen and Eryn had to venture over the west hills to pick her up. It was a slow drive but they made it safely. Chains or traction devices were required on all major highways yesterday (4 wheel drive okay) and of course there were tons of little accidents.
It is clear and sunny today but COOLED! There is still snow on the ground and the roads are icy but not too bad. The expected high is about 26 and the wind chill is bringing the temp down even further. What is this Montana? It is quite a dry snow for Portland too and is expected to stay very cold all week. We might get more snow on Wed. Craig heard from a colleague that they have shut his office down before, being it is a non-essential part of the Legacy Hospital organization but no such luck yet. He took the Jeep to work to be safe and so Katya and I are holed up today without transportation (her car seat is in there). Oh well. I was very sick this morning anyways so not really in the mood to venture out. I am feeling a little better, keeping fluids down finally which is good. Katya is napping and I think I will join her:0)
How blessed we are to have a warm home! ~ Brenda
