Billy the Snowman

What a couple of good looking fellas, eh? Sure, one looks a little weird and is giving a bit of a goofy smile, and sure, one of them is made of snow, but still...

Jack Frost graced Anacortes with a beautiful blanket of snow today. The little kid in me (which accounts for about 95%) couldn't help but be giddy. I've got nowhere to go so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Since the temperature is hovering right around freezing (and maybe even a little over), the snow is perfect for packing. It took only 20 minutes or so to put my masterpiece together. If the weather turns warm tomorrow, I'm prepared to build a tent and an elaborate chill tunnel from the fridge to keep Billy around.

Oh, and for some size perspective, try this one.

I'm with Gretch, every time I finally make it up to Anacortes in the winter, the best I get are slushy margaritta streets. Nothing says sad like a snowman made out of that.

We got some snow around these parts as well. It seems to make Canadian drivers even worse, so we tend to stay snuggly inside. I hope you are well. I have enjoyed reading your blog.
