Blizzard 2008!

It never snows in Portland. Well, you might see a flurry once a winter. But it never sticks. but today it sorta really snowed! I mean, downtown we got about 1 inch, and a lot of it froze on the ground as a real dense hard-pack. But we hear that farther out people got real measurable accumulation -- inches! So of course we had to take Elliot out to explore, not to mention to break in his totally awesome snow suit (thanks Jenn!). Unfortunately, once we got outside we discovered that the snow was pretty frozen, and the damn East wind was still blowing pretty strong. So we did a short little loop of a few blocks (looking for drifts!) and headed back in to decorate the tree.
