First Snow

Friday morning, a “wintry mix” of rain and snow hit the Seattle area. As the day wore on, it turned into all snow. Luckily, there was no accumulation and the rain resumed in the afternoon. This morning the snow returned and briefly accumulated over the Doug Fir needles on the upper deck. Again, the white stuff stopped falling in the afternoon. As I’ve mentioned before, snowfalls send folks hereabouts into a tizzy. My mother and sister back in the Snow Belt got a kick out of the fact that we got snow before they did.
