Christmas Storm 2008

Last night was one of the most amazing, terrifying, nights I have had in a long time...maybe ever. The "BIG" storm that everyone was predicting really took hold of Snoqualmie and the surrounding foothills with winds gusting upwards of 70-90mph throughout the night and whiteout conditions like I've never seen. Cooper, Sadie and I had a "camp out" on the floor downstairs with Papa and Sydney sleeping on the couch because it was just too loud upstairs...but unfortunately, there wasn't much sleeping! I really do think that last night was bigger and badder then the windstorm we endured 2 years ago. Although thankfully, we only lost our power throughout the night and not for 6 days! As of right now, 9:30am, its still blowing pretty hard outside but nothing like last night. Believe it or not, we are still supposed to get 4 more inches of snow today. I hope Daddy is able to make it home from Vegas!!




The backyard's snow drift

Yes...that is our backyard swing under the snow!
