Once there was a snowman....

Our snowman had a short life. It melted and then today we have more snow. Better luck next time I suppose. The snow has continued falling today with out stopping. The news has said we're in for a deep freeze. We'll see. As Pete and I ventured out this morning before it got too bad (it was alrerady bad enough) the Christmas songs took on a whole new meaning for those of us who don't usually see it. Titles such as, It's beginning to look alot like Christmas, and There's no place like home for the holiday's. We made our outing quick (but safe) so that we could get home. It's funny to us how much of a quandry snow is for Oregon. When we lived in Utah this was an expected way of life. Here it turns everything into chaos. After being here for as long as we have been, we don't get too panicky over the snow but have learned that Oregon snow doesn't equate to Utah snow. Ours is usually wet. Then it melts just enough to cover the ground with a lovely coat of ice. Sometimes we get more snow, then ice ect. ect. This my friends is what freaks out Oregonians and rightly so.
P.S. for all of you that our last blog background bugged I hope this is better for you!
