Arctic Blast 2008: yet another disappointment

Okay, seriously?

Bryan and I have decided that we must have some type of force field surrounding us that prevents us from living in a city that gets any snow accumulation. Puyallup NEVER got snow until the year we moved away. However, since we were moving to the Portland area, we thought 'hooray!', because Portland gets a ton of snow, right?

Right.

Portland may get a ton of snow, (if, by a ton, you mean 2-3 inches that seem to warrant round-the-clock news coverage), and anywhere north of us in Vancouver may get a ton of snow, but our street is consistently devoid of any snow that sticks. It is SO disappointing!

And I believe Puyallup is on their second or third snow day from school. Enjoy it now, kids! We're moving back next year and you can kiss your snow days goodbye!

Anyway. Zoey and I are still going to enjoy a "snow day" together, regardless of the fact that we do not have any actual snow. I may or may not stay in my flannel pajama pants all day, and there will be some baking. Right now I am thrilled because it is 7:20 a.m. and I have yet to hear a peep out of her. Exciting!

I will keep you all posted as to our non-existent snowfall. But it's looking like Zoey won't be able to try out those boots and snow pants until we get to Reno next week.

Oh please move here! I could so do without the snow we are getting, today we have gotten at least 3 inches, YUCK!

Wow, you guys get real snow days? I don't think I've ever heard of them calling school off in Alaska for snow accumulation. That's awesome! I hope you get some snow soon!
