Late seasons snow in North Tacoma
A pale what dusting of snow fell with last night's storm. Although the winds did no damage around here the dusting is a lovely end to a great winter. Flakes of white stuff fell just a few minutes ago. As I slurped my morning bowl of cereal I saw the snow falling out of the corner of my eye. Knowing she would want to see, I hurried downstairs and threw open the blinds for Sarah to see. Granted, it's not quite as dramatic as a foot of snow plus we're not kids who would get to play much in anything that fell. Instead, I got a couple groans and a complimentary squinty-eyed look out the window from the comfort of the bed. She probably couldn't make out the snowflakes without her contacts or glasses but the effort was there and that's all that matters to me.
The snow, at this elevation, is not long for this world as the temperature is already a few degrees above freezing. Nevertheless, as I wrap us this entry, a flurry still dances around in the air before hitting the ground to mostly melt. Thanks, Ma Nature, for the late-season delight. I promise we'll make good use of it when we're up snowboarding this weekend and enjoying the drought-free conditions this summer.

Aww, all my illusions of snowlessness in the Tacoma-place-thingy are broken, Sweden is super-snowy still (something of a weather record) but as I am in London right now (whee!) I do not let that bother me :)
(yes, this was a gratuitous comment to say that I am in London)

I don't mind and I hope you're having a great time! The more comments the merrier. Heck, you could simply comment on other people's websites as a way of blogging. Could be a new trend...
