I Come From the Land of the Ice and Snow
Here are all the photos I took of the half-inch ice coating that was on… everything yesterday and this morning.

So the snow is still here, but it’s developed a new trick: the top layer of the snow has melted, fused, and then re-frozen, forming an incredibly thick crust of ice on top of the seven inches of snow.
In places this crust is up to a full inch thick

In a few spots it is actually thick enough to support my weight so that I am actually standing on TOP of the snow.

This is a new experience for me.
Yesterday I finally took down the exterior Chrissymiss lights, the last vestiges of the holidays. It was a bit sad to see them colorful lights go back into the garage.
Fortunately, the sky had its own colorful lights yesterday to make up for it:

Now that’s a sunset.
Here are some photos from Sunday’s most excellent music show at Metronome Coffee, just a few blocks from where I live here in Tacoma! Featuring The Jesus Rehab, Julia Massey and The Five Finger Discount, and Terrapin Productions:
