White Christmas Week

Look what someone in our area ordered for Christmas?

Oregon has been hammered with cold weather this past week. The scary part is not many of us know how to drive in the stuff. The kids & I have been home bound for six days already... can you say cabin fever?

Yesterday we woke up to heavy falling snow. It continued to snow heavily all day. By 4:00 pm I decided to go outside and take some pictures. It was 8" and counting. This morning it's tapered off and we're now sitting at 10". We lost power yesterday afternoon & it's still down. Thank God for our generator! We can run the TV, computer & a few lights at the same time. In awhile each of us will enjoy a nice warm 2 min. shower.

We have been dealt an easy hand compared to Salem & Portland areas. They received awful amounts of ice & traction devices are required in Portland...


Merry Christmas Everyone!

Oh the snow is beautiful! Josh and I were wishing for a least a dusting of snow but nothing ever came :( Can you tell we miss living in Alaska? Happy holidays and may blessings in the new year!
