Snow! Here’s my pic, share yours!

I know this seems totally silly for all my soapy actual cold weather friends (@Zing and @dibbles in MN immediately come to mind) but to have snow where I live, in Northern CA by San Francisco, near sea level SNOW is a rare occurrence (like 1976!) and everyone looses their mind and freaks out. So I thought I’d share the view from my office window today of Mt Diablo all covered in snow.

That's one heck of an office view

Wow wow wow! It is purtee, and of course my mind goes to how to convert that to a landscape soap.

Yeah, the weather's pretty nuts now. We had left on vacation a few days before the predicted snowcapylpse arrived in Minnesota (luckily just 16" versus predicted 26"). We're in Oregon. Our first stop was a remote camp that got a "historic" one inch of snow that stayed a couple of days. I was making light of Portland Oregon getting a historic 10" of snow. But when we drove to Portland where we are now, I realized how devestating it is to Portland. They have no snow plows, ice, or sand, or snow shovels. So I take back my making-fun remarks and thankful we arrived (car and walking) safe and sound. We're in a rented house and I'm converting a cookie sheet to a snow shovel to clear the front steps.

It's snowing here at the moment. Most of BC is under a snow advisory; our area isn't. We're supposed to get about 2-4 cm (1-2").

Wow! Stunning view.

We've had snow just about every day, but it melts off by the midday. It's sure pretty to wake up to this, especially when it has the courtesy of taking care of itself in a few hours.

This is the current state of our deck.

Ice storm from the other day. This is my front yard but the entire property was a sheet of pure ice

We've still got mountains of snow in the backyard where it doesn't get much sunshine. Our new pup, Gus, will really miss his snowy romps thru it when it's gone!

Ice is worse to deal with than snow!

@JoyfulSudz Gus is so cute! It's nice that someone appreciates the snow. All of our dogs (Labs) have always loved it too.

Thanks! He's a 10-month-old Bernedoodle we adopted 2 weeks ago. He's the smartest, sweetest, most mellow pup until we take him to the dog park where he goes totally deaf and bonkers chasing and humping all the other dogs. Won't he be surprised when we take him in to get neutered in about 12 days!
