Not only is it still snowing, but I think it has snowed more in the past 24 hours than it did all of last week! Church was canceled this morning, though one family did show up at our place with their two little girls and we had a really nice visit! With pantries growing bare, we decided to walk the mile to Fred Meyer, where we planned to buy a sled to drag home the groceries that we couldn't fit in our backpacks. The walk there was a bit tougher than we had expected, with a layer of peanut-brittle-like ice on top of soft snow. But it was the walk back that was exhausting. Freddie's was (surprisingly enough) sold-out of sleds, so we got a rolling box to carry our stuff back. But because of the ridiculous amount of wet snow that had fallen while we were in the store, it was basically had to be dragged. This picture is of a fairly clear street, but each block seemed to have seen less and less traffic and, by the end, we had to carry it!
I had not planned on needing to dig this hat out again for a long time!
Apparently, this weather is supposed to continue all week! At least we're stocked up. Tonight, we plan to do some baking, watch some Christmas movies, and drink some wine. Not bad.
