after the wind, the snow

Quick update: the wind blew the gas grill off our deck last night. Knocked down an ailing alder in the back of the yard. Killed the power for a couple of hours. But that's about all.

Today? Snow. Not just nice, fluffy snow, but ice pellets, followed by heavy, slushy snow, followed by deep freezing temperatures. Fun stuff, for driving tomorrow.

And normally I wouldn't care, except that I'm supposed to have a long and early dental appointment tomorrow. Should be fun driving on ice to get there. I can't wait.
