Seattle was blanketed in a record amount of snowfall this last week- it was stated on the news that we hadn’t had this much snowfall since 1861 & 1871!!  The entire city was shut down the week before Christmas, putting a crimp on everyone’s shopping plans. (Including mine- I am STILL waiting on some corporate xmas cards that I ordered on the 12th, normally PLENTY of time for addressing and mailing before 12.25!!)

With the roads completely covered, stores shut down, and no where to go- I dragged my little sis out of her warm living room to come outside and have some fun.  (see, she lives a mere five or so houses down the street!).

I taught her how to make snow angels (She’s almost 27.  Really, Hillary?  Really?)


These next three were taken in the middle of the night on our street (handheld, no tripod!).  I **heart** my Nikon D3!!!

The snow is finally, thankfully, nearly all melted… I never thought I’d be so excited to drive to work again, wearing my REGULAR shoes and only ONE layer of pants, socks, and sweaters!
