Snow in Seattle

It's unusual for Seattle to receive snow and even more unusual for it to stick. Nevertheless, we woke up this morning with a dusting of snow in our garden. It might actually stay around for a while, too: we're supposed to have high temperatures of ~30 degrees for the next few days.

The bright side is that the mountains got hammered and the ski areas are opening. Anya's parents arrive today for a 3-week Christmas & New Year's visit. We're excited to see them and show them around (it's their first visit to Seattle).
