At 3:30 this morning the coyotes howled outside our house. I've been awake since. I finally got up at 5 to find a light dust of snow on the ground and a forecast for "snow turning to freezing rain" today. Brilliant.

The weather report on the local news station is calling it "inclement weather." After 16 years on the west coast, I still find it weird to call snow in January inclement. As far as I'm concerned, this has been a great winter. Less rain and gloom than usual (which reminds me, I keep meaning to write about Christmas, when my family came to visit and complained about the gloomy weather. I live in Oregon, folks -- the only way to cope with the gloom is to do your best to ignore it), more sun and snow than usual. It's actually been quite lovely. Although I am looking forward to Spring.

Also, I'm looking forward to sleeping past 3:30 am. Maybe tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the snow is currently falling fast and furious. It's lovely. I wish it weren't going to turn to ice later. Snow is way better than ice. But this is Oregon, after all -- you rarely get snow without ice.

Snow day!

Well, we're all at home, the city seems to be shutting down due to snow and predicted ice. I've got the pioneer spirit -- we used the last of our bread yesterday and I don't expect to get to the store today, so I'm firing up the bread machine!

Here I am, stuck at home on a snow day, and nobody has update in hours. Y'all are gonna force me to do some laundry or something awful like that. Thanks a lot!
