Snow!!!!!!!

It be snowing up here in Seattle! This is a big deal for us. As strange as it may sound, we don't get much snow here by the coast. Damn Pacific jet stream, convergence zone, blah blah. I was grilling chops out in the snow. Drinking beer. Awesome. I know kerrcarto's was much much better but we got our grub on, too.

Here's Samuel, my oldest, and his buddy in the front yard (Samuel in red).











Here's a shot out the back. OUTSTANDING!

Ty Guy says....I am holding down the fort waiting for it to hit Portland/Tigard...as of now 340am no deal

Paul said...

Ty Guy, I'm not surprised. The front wasn't even supposed to come down much further south of Seattle.

I didn't know you lived in Portland!! I'll have to give you a shout next time I'm traveling thru.

Beautiful place, Paul. Kids must love it.All the best...

We already had snow one day last week,in Toronto. Then cold, ugly rain.

I remember when I lived in Houston. One morning, we woke up to a nice blanket of snow. Not much really. Houston closed the schools and the Highways. Coming from East Canada, we laughed so much...

Thanks, Claudia. We've lived here 3 1/2 months now. I love the place. Finally, some square footage to entertain friends and family. We've had several really cool parties so far, one of which was last night during the snow. Fun!

And, yeah, nothing is funnier than Texas during snow and ice. And, as ironic as it sounds, Seattle people are just as funny. I can't tell you how many Mercedes I've seen abandoned along the highways between Seattle and Bellevue! You northern tundra folks must laugh at us fools so hard you turn blue in the face!

Claudia said...

PeggyU- Doing everything I can to help...Alas! I don't have much power in my country. Our assholes in Ottawa are turning things upside down trying to lead us into another election (last one in October!!!!). They put their fingers on the wrong button this time. None of us will go to the polls....

Explaining to you why you're getting our Northeast winds....

Paul said...

Ty Guy, nope. No ponds but I got the 18th fairway behind them there trees.

I appreciate the assistance, Claudia. I know they keep a giant fan up there and it must have an "off" switch! The wind is still blasting us here. One good thing though: I am going to take the pine branches that blew down and trim them up for the fireplace mantle. Free Christmas decor :)
