At least for the east side the snow is on its way. Not only that, it is suppose to get down into the single digits at night by next Monday...... winter is here:shaking:

OK, I think I won the first snow bet. My first photo was just a skiff of snow but now we have a couple inches.

Well its coming down good this morning. Looks pretty at least. Its sticking good and here comes the headaches. I forgot to check antifeeze level in the truck. I usually run enough for like -10 or so Im thinking Ill be good. But the last time I put some water in did I just put water or did I mix it. Man I gotta check it.
More fish please!

The flakes are falling here in north Lynnwood - five minutes before I was going to leave to go get one of those anti show removal things called a shovel. I apologize to the city of Lynnwood for failing my mission. Had I got the shovel this white stuff would likely never had started to fall :D

I'm in Burlington this evening. Driving to Sea-Tac in the morning to drop off my daughter and her family who are going to New Zealand for Christmas. We are leaving the airport and driving to Spokane. The drive will be interesting. Snow, heavy at times with a 20 mph wind from the north, with higher gusts. Wind chills are suppose to be near zero all day. I could be a long, tiring drive home.[unsure]
