Last Snowfall of 2010 in South King County
Just couldn't resist sharing this view from my deck just before dawn this morning. It was just before the sun broke over Mount Enumclaw, and is one of the reasons I love living here. We have about 5 inches of snow this time (our last snow Thanksgiving week was 15") and the air is crisp and fresh.
Of course the roads are icy, but if you are careful you can take a walk with the dog in the Winter wonderland and throw a few snowballs just for the fun of it! Wave to the neighbors and maybe share of few stories.
Nothing brings back good memories like the snow, and remembering when we were kids how we used to sled down the hill on State Street in the South King County Seattle area, and the grownups blocked it off for us to be safe. Wheeee!!!
Sometimes it would get so crowded we had to take turns, so we had barrels stoked with a low burning fire to keep us warm when it was our turn to take a break.
So this is the kind of day to curl up listening to the crackle in the fireplace and reading a good book. Of course this is after building the snowman with the neighborhood kids! Oh yes, please don't forget the hot chocolate, or maybe a hot buttered rum! Happy New Year and be Safe!
