Record Broken!

It is official, the weather service says we have broke then 13 inch 24 hour snow fall record set in 1954. 17 inches! Beat it by 4 inches! It is still falling. Huge fluffy flakes, it isn’t packing snow though.

The snow is to my knees (approx 20 inches) we live on the South Hill and get more snow then the rest of Spokane. Some parts of Deer Park (outlaying areas) for 3 feet! For those who got snow, what is your total at the moment?

As promised I went outside and grabbed some photos.

Hasn’t Mother Nature decorated beautifully for the solstice? Impassable roads or not, it is so pretty!

    I HATE SNOW! But your photos are lovely, and could almost make me like it if I did not remember the cold, freezing temperatures that go with it. Not to mention shoveling driveways, scraping wind shields etc.

    The snow here is pretty deep, all the neighbors cars and vans are completely covered, cant see the sides of them even. Also our little white picket fence is completely covered and the snow is level with the bottom of our bay window if that tells you anything. It’s over Emily’s head and she is completely terrified of the snow.

    Wow! Winter has come with a vengeance :D We are still (from what I can tell) expecting a lot of snow Sunday, but we’ll see what happens. The most snow we ever got was when the “White Juan” blizzard hit the maritimes in 2004 I believe.. 95cms!! And this was in a 24 hour period. Trust me, it can always get worse XD It does look very pretty though :) The thing about reading things written by Americans/people who live in the States though is that I always have to convert the measurements :D
