This has been quite a winter here in Western Washington, and it all started in the fall! From flooding to ice on the freeway during the evening commute (twice now) to snow, we're all wonderwing when it's going to end.

Yesterday it snowed a bit here. I've got about two inches of snow outside (and my cat wont go outside for more than a minute or two.) I just walked out to the road and it's slick out there. The temperature hasn't even reached freezing yet. Tomorrow will be cold, too. Luckily, no new snow is forcasted and we'll be warming up this weekend.

I did get out a bit yesterday and managed to take some pictures as the snow fell. Photographing snow is harder than it looks. (I really need to find the manual for the camera). Below are some of the pics I took that turned out... okay.

Enjoy.

Thank goodness 2006 is over.

I need a fresh start.

And to start off the year, here's one of my favorite pic from my November Snow series.

Even though it's going to be a wet Christmas here in western Washington, here's a pic of the November snow.

Go figure.
