When we were being courted by Microsoft in 2002, we asked the usual questions about the climate: does it get cold here, does it snow, etc.; "Oh no, it is rare to see snow in the Seattle area -- And yes, it does get a little chilly, but it's over before you know it." Well, it has snowed two years running. White fluffies are drifting down tonight to give us a slip and slide morning. Temps have dropped to the upper twenties (F).

I let the cats out in it, this being their second time ever to experience snow. They were just 8 months old thefirst time and their reaction was puzzlement. This time Fariell flew outside, stopped for a couple of seconds and then teleported back inside, giving me a look of having been betrayed (I'm always to blame for inclement weather). 

Ah well, time to cuddle up and read read about the ongoing election shenanigans; it's a good read: excitement, pathos, treachery, innuendo, plot twists, and maybe some day a governor.
