Quite the snow storm today

Glen's storm hit here around 10:00am. We got about a foot of the white stuff - no fun for this mailman! But, we will have a white Christmas, as it's projected to stay below 30 degrees (F) all week....

Great photos. We had a little snow on the hills here (and some on the beach for a short time.) Now we are back to the alternating hail and rain.

Since this is now way off topic - I might as well add my snow totals - 8 inches last Tuesday - 12 inches on Friday - and we may get another 3 to 8 inches Saturday into Sunday.

Great for wearing a kilt - makes you feel alive when the wind whips the snow into the nether regions.

Alamogordo? Or La Luz?

Alamo, did the world just get a little smaller?

It started here about 7:30; by 10:00 I had half a foot; at 2:00 it ranged between 1-1½ feet, and it hasn't stopped yet. There are travel prohibitions for a couple of towns until midnight.

Having said that, I was walking about in my self-made 18 oz Hunting Stewart, and I was comfortable. The wind directly on my knees was a little cold while shoveling the driveway, though.

We've gotten about 7" so far here in Albany. It's a heck of a lot better weather now than last week when that stupid ice storm took out our power and phone lines for the entire weekend. A few areas around here are still without power.

Yesterday (Thursday), we got about 9" here in Duvall, on top of the 2-3" we had from last weekend. Tomorrow, we're supposed to get another 2-3", but, at the same time, we'll have sustained winds of 40-50 mph with gusts somewhere between 75 and 90 mph. Temperatures will be in the 20s, so I don't think I'll be wearing a kilt, at least when I go out to top up the gas tank on the generator. Might wear one inside, but not outdoors. And, not because of potential flyups, but, due to the windchill factor.
