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.

This Is New For Me
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.

My Snow-Covered Car
I wasn’t expecting this when I woke up this morning! A full inch of snow is all up on Tacoma. Makes my neighborhood super pretty. If only it had done this on Christmas instead of four days later…

How Quickly They Forget
Yes, it snowed yesterday and the day before. And for some reason people are acting all shocked and dismayed. Gasp! It snowed in March!
Have you forgotten that last year it snowed all the way at the end of March? I haven’t! I keep this website just so that I can remember stuff like that: Footprints Leading to Good Food, 29 March 2008.
So snow this late in the year is not a shocking development. As a friend pointed out, we usually have a deceptively warm February and then a colder March. The only thing strange about snow in 2009 is that it has already snowed as many times as it usually snows in an entire year.
