So – today the snow arrived.

Snowing 12-18-08
My carpooler showed up at around 7 AM, but by then I had decided not to participate in the commute. He, however, is leaving for Chicago on Sunday and did not have what he needed to work from home.
I stayed and am at home, at least for the moment.
Carl shoveled the sidewalk, and we will need to clear it again later.
It is still snowing, and the commuting may actually be worse this afternoon.
So – out to walk a few errands, and then back for more work.
Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and cold.
Winter in the northwest … this year it looks like we could get a White Christmas.
Still a little far in the future to predict, but …. I can dream.
