Oh man did it ever snow yesterday! I went out to measure the snow last night at 9:30 pm and we have at least 5 and a half inches of snow and still the snow was falling all the way until the wee hours of this morning. Dad was debating whether or not to go into work today. Unfortunately he has the kind of job (architect) where you have to go to in order to get any work done and there is a meeting that is scheduled up in Everett where there is even more snow than we have that he needs to go to. Poor guy. Mom looked out the window and saw tire tracks leading down our driveway so apparently he went to work and he just now called home so I know that he made it there safely. Now on the other hand there are a whole bunch of people up here who work for Microsoft (Erin's dad being one of them) and those lucky duckies get to work from home during this bad weather we are having. Even the Sea-Tac airport is having a hard time. Many of the airlines have cancelled their flights due to the de-icer solution shortage. It is a solution that the airlines use to get rid of the ice on the planes and runways. Apparently a short while back there was a strike up in Canada involving the company where the United States get their solution from and now we are dipping into what's left in storage. Since we are pretty much stuck inside mom decided to get her baking done and boy howdy did she ever bake yesterday. May do some more baking today. Mimi spent the day across the street at Halliwell's house playing with Halle. Dad spent all day yesterday putting up blackout curtains in the upstairs bedrooms. In between time we watched the Seahawks beat out the New York Jets 13 to 3. YIPEE!!! Although it is not the last Seahawks game but it is Mike Holmgrens last home game at Q-West field. So when the game was over and the Seahawks won he ran around the stadium to thank all of the fans.
