Let it what? Snow! Snow! Snow!

Portland is not a winter city. It is under a winter storm advisory at this time. In fact traction devices are required in the metro area.
We woke up to a dusting of the white stuff that fell overnight. Enough that Har had to scrape the van and the slider door was frozen shut.
I dropped Har, Courts and Hayden off at church and made my Fred Meyer run.

This is my purse after walking from the store to the car.
It must have snowed over a 1/2 inch in the half hour I was in the store. The roads were getting to be awful. My van wasn't getting traction at stops and wasn't stopping well either. I was heading home to get Cam and Ry and decided after sliding to the side of the road on a turn and almost hitting a tree that I wasn't going back up the hill to church. Har and the rest will have to get a ride or walk the couple of miles home.
My window cling snowmen seem happy to have snow sticking to the laurel hedge outside.
Hayden early this morning filled the bird feeder so our little friends have something to eat in this cold weather.
It is "beginning to look a lot like Christmas"!

I think I'd rather be over here where we have several inches of snow than where you are with just enough to be dangerous. Hope you're all safe and tucked up by the fire.
