frightful weather

I awoke this morning to a couple of inches of snow - sitting on top of an icy bed. Our house sits over 400 feet higher than Puget Sound, so we tend to get a little colder than most of the Seattle metro area whose temperatures are moderated by Puget Sound.
The photograph has the odd orange tint because of the local street lights. Their light bounces off of the low snow clouds to produce the eerie, odd color. The human eye performs some natural compensation, but the camera ruthlessly shows the truth. Starbucks has a fine remote-computing connection, so I'll dig into work from home! No "Snow Day" for me. Jessica will be unhappy when she wakes up - her school was scheduled to be closed today for teacher's in-service anyway.
