You think your winter is bad?





They predicted a big storm would hit Pullman today. We awoke to a TON of snow on the ground this morning. We have more than a foot and a half on the ground and it is still snowing. Hitcher was able to escape from the yard for the first time today because there is so much snow along our fenceline that he was able to easily bound out; Ted has spent the morning shoveling a line along the fence, with hopes that the hound will stay in the yard. WSU is closed for a snow day today... for the first time since 1985! It will be very interesting to go to the Cal/WSU game tonight (they say it's still on schedule) because I imagine the crowd will be much smaller.

Just as I finished typing that last sentence, I looked out the window to see Hitcher jumping over the corner of the fence. Thankfully, he just ran across the street to the park where his girlfriend from across the street was playing with her owner. Now I just really hope that this behavior does not continue. If it weren't for all this snow, he would not have figured out he could escape.

That's funny--UW (Seattle, anyway) doesn't close for snow either. Not that we get 18 inches, but 4-6 inches paralyzes everything else around here...just not UW. Hope you had some fun in the white stuff!

Yeah it's rough here - I did a lunch time ride today and it only got up to 61 F :-)
