It's the first snow day of the year here in Portland and it's got everyone all upset. Schools are opening late or not at all, people are canceling plans... we don't see snow much so we don't know how to deal with it. It's unusual for us to get snow before Thanksgiving, certainly, and some years we don't get any. Some years, we have two solid weeks of cabin fever and cancellations before it melts, but I'm hoping that doesn't happen this year.
I did get some pictures of the house in the snow before it melts more with the sun today... nice to document the first snow in our new house!
It's melted a little since last night, but here's the 1/2" or so of snow Oregonians are freaking out about:
Luckily I put a wreath up yesterday, it adds to the wintery look!
It does get icy, unfortunately... the high today is supposed to be something like 30, so when people drive the snow gets packed down and it's scary to walk on.
Have you had snow yet?? Wonder what this winter will bring...
I'm definitely planning on some cozy winter projects, like a sweater-to-scarf makeover and some microwavable rice bags like
last year's tutorial!
