The worst thing about being in Seattle during an unusually snowy winter is the morons on the local news. I don't mean the folks who think they can drive a tour bus filled with kids down a steep, icy hill -- they're dumb too -- but rather the local news broadcasters.
Good lord, you'd think we were dropped into the 7th frozen circle of hell, to listen to these people.
Still, there's about 4 inches of snow on the ground here and it's been much colder in the city than it usually is, so things have been largely shut down for the last week. Johanna, Andreas and Margo (Anastasia's parents and aunt) have been with us for a week, after 3 weeks in Bothell with Alex, and they've been more or less housebound. Margo's been glued to any weather report she can find, so she's probably the target audience for local weather forecasters. I keep threatening to take her for a drive, but have yet to follow through :).

Yikes. Looks like New England. I tuned in the Jets-Seahawks game yesterday and was shocked to hear that I was looking at a Seattle home game. Hey, tell Margo to go to Second Ascent and pick up some used XC skis and get out there on the trails.
ReplyDeleteHa! That would be excellent -- somehow I don't think it will pan out, though she's welcome to borrow mine.
ReplyDeleteOur hummingbirds look a lot like yours - we keep having to defrost the sugarwater.
ReplyDeleteSad little rufous hummer -- he's been coming by every morning.
