It NEVER snows in Anacortes! Really! Except once in a while... like now! If memory serves, but it often doesn't, this year's weather pattern seems eerily similar to the winter of 1996, when we had a ton of snow throughout the holidays, even a fresh few inches on Christmas morning to cover Santa's tracks. We have escaped the usual November winds, and I don't remember a cold Northerly wind like this in the last few years. So... white Christmas? Maybe! I know my kids are hoping so!

I'd tell you where the best sledding is in town, but then everyone would know and it would get crowded. All I can say is stay off the streets - that is really dangerous. If you want the inside tip on where to sled safely, call me. In the meantime, get busy on that snowman!
