The Big Snow

Oregon does not typically see much snow, but this year has been interesting. Take 5 inches of snowfall, now add a coat of ice, pile up another heap of snow, then top with a final inch of ice. It makes walking interesting, let alone driving. Christmas Eve services were canceled, and it took my parents seven hours to make a 60 miles drive to our house for Christmas. DH had vacation between the holidays, so we just hunkered down and enjoyed some quiet time. A few days later it thawed enough for Eldest Daughter to have eight friends over for an all-nighter that really carried on...all night. :)
