Snowed In

So it started snowing Wednesday night and hasn't really stopped yet. Thursday we awoke to about 6 inches of snow on the ground and freezing temperatures. Then on Friday the roads were finally a little clear on the main streets but only partly. Our hill that we live on has become a prime sledding hill so you can imagine driving down a sheet of ice is a little tricky. I think I mostly slid down when I went out on Saturday morning to hit up the grocery store and Costco before the big storm was to hit Saturday night. Well it came and with it probably another three to six inches of snow and ice. Then this morning the snow started about 4 am and hasn't stopped all day long. Thankfully my sister has a four-wheel drive truck so for a little entertainment for the day I drove to the grocery store. But for the most part I have worked on craft projects, baked massive amount of cookies, been online, watch way too much tv and talked with family in other parts of the city. The interesting thing is a cousin came over yesterday to take the train to Los Angeles today. The left at 5 am from the house but have been sitting in the train station all day long. Why Amtrak can't seem to get the train out of the train station I am not sure. So we are praying that maybe by 10 PM tonight the train might actually leave or we might be out again to pick them up and bring them back here for the night. Whew! Snow in Seattle is quite a tricky thing.
