Brrrr

It snowed in Seattle last night. Lots of little flakes, with occasional bursts of big, fluffy flakes. Then, it got colder. The slush froze, the snow stayed. Today, it is colder than either St. Paul, Minnesota, my home town, or Boston, Massachusetts, where I lived before Seattle. That is usually not the case, at least in the winter.

If I had more energy, I'd go over the zoo and see how the animals are coping. Are the Chilean flamingos out, for example? I think they had heat lamps and they are used to Andes weather. But probably most of the creatures are curled up in their homes, which is likely all I'll manage to do for the rest of the day.
