Arctic Blast '08

Corey and I woke up to about an inch of snow in Ballard. While that may not seem like much, it's enough to close every school district in the area (which were all closed yesterday as well due to the threat of snow).

As we watched the news, we both decided that we'd be working from home to avoid potential disaster on the freeways in the area. Here is a video of 520, which was closed in one direction this morning due to the poor conditions: http://www.king5.com/video/featured-index.html?nvid=314424

And here's a photo of what my work exit looked like this morning - glad I didn't end up going in!

Though we worked all day like the diligent and dedicated employees we are, we also wanted to get some shots of Roxy in her first notable snow storm. While we couldn't let her stay out long in order to avoid her stitches getting wet (she has stitches from her spaying for about 5 more days), we did let her explore the snow for a few minutes. Overall, I don't think she loved it but I don't think she hated it, either. Just lots of sniffing and jumping around.

Back to work I go. Wish us warmth in the upcoming chilly and snowy Seattle days!
