Seasonal Whimsies by Susan V.

Well it's official this storm is the worst since 1968! For those of you who have lived in Oregon you already know that the snow stays mainly in the higher elevations , but this snow has delivered approximately 24" . Even the beaches have snow! For those living in the East and Mid west this is nothing but to Oregon this is a major event!Most of the city has been shut down and the kids have a 3 week vacation instead of 2. Today is our window of opportunity to run last minute errands before Christmas as another storm is lined up to hit us tonight.
We are loving all the snow, reminds me of Christmas in Colorado, it's been years since we've lived anywhere that has had a accumulation of snow like this. Although the downside is for the people attempting to leave town. The airport has been closed since the weekend , and the highways have been impassible too.
Hopefully stranded travelers will have the opportunity to leave today, the airport has reopened and the rodes are much better today. I pray everyone arrives safe and sound to their destinations!
The new pictures are our neighborhood, and the sky is exactly the color it shows in the pictures. I thought it would be fun for you all to see what we feel is a major snow storm!
Merry Christmas to all ! Susan
