Yesterday morning I woke up to white roof tops—it snowed! By the time I got to work most of the snow had melted, there were periods of snow and sunshine throughout the morning.
Snow covered backyard before work
During my almost daily lunchtime walk I got pelted with corn snow/hail for the first few minutes but then it cleared up to be a really nice walk. Around 2:30 pm I noticed the office got a bit darker, when I looked out the window it looked like a blizzard. It was snowing hard and starting to stick. About 10-15 minutes later we were told we could go home.
Around 3:30, snowy front yard
When I arrived home, it was still snowing pretty hard but nothing was sticking the actual roads. I chuckled to myself that with less than 2 inches of accumulation and nothing sticking to the roads, buses had chains, schools were closed and I got to go home from work early. That would NOT have flown when I lived in Boston.
Garden beds covered in snow and Zoey playing in the white fluff
Snow covered roof tops and some late afternoon sunshine. View from our upstairs office.
Our sproutlings were covered by the porch overhang, hoping they don't die from the cold weather.
Accumulation on the deck rail.
Since I got to go home early, what did I do with my time...went for a run of course!
At the end of a snowy and cold but super peaceful run.
Then, I took Zoey for a long walk before the sun went down. Once the sun went down the temps plummeted and I got cozy with Zoey and some tea on the couch. Wonderful way to end the day.
All in all, a great winter day!

sooo pretty! my dogs still haven't seen snow and I really want them too! Maybe if we get some on the hills tonight like they say we will bring them up :)
We have 8 - 10 inches and schools did close. Not mine because we are on vacation. It's pretty but I am at the enough is enough point and my husband is way past that.
I love the pix of the snow. That is about as much as we have had today.
Those pictures are so beautiful! Ha ha..I can't believe you got to go home from that snow storm! That's crazy, but how awesome for you!
Hey you! Wasn't the snow awesome for a change up! :) So fun to have at least one snow day this year. :)
Why did I think Portland got snow? :) I smiled when the city freaked out about the 2 inches. That's a normal after flurry here!
Loved your pictures! Congrats on your run!!
AND you have a new follower! :)
