Ooops. What’s all that white stuff?

The weatherman said we’d have 10 days of pretty much sunshine and clouds. Little or no precipitation until at least January 22.

So seeing this out my window was a bit of a surprise this morning:

And, now that I’ve been up for about 2.5 hours, it shows no signs of stopping. The footprints I made when I took those shots an hour ago are almost completely filled.

Any thoughts I had of driving to the grocery store and laying in supplies against a possible marooning are tempered by thoughts of a steep, unplowed road and this:

Gosh. I’ll bet it’s embarrassing, being a weatherman in the Northwest right now.

Businesses all over the city are closed for the snow. I can’t say the same, working from home, so for me it’s business as usual. The contractors won’t be here, the cats are sleepily cuddling the heater vents and paying absolutely no attention to the gorgeous white stuff out the window. The furnace (thank heavens) is working. The kiln is ramping off the anneal cycle.

And it’s really beautiful, outside in the snow.
