Snow, Snow, Snow

As a Seattleite, snow is not something we come to expect. And when it happens, everyone inevitably freaks out (then again, everyone freaks out when it rains too...don't know why, as we get rained on a lot more than snowed on). Anyways, it snowed here in Seattle last night and part of this morning. So I woke up to something like this:

Ok, it wasn't nearly that bad, more like an inch or two...but still, it conjured up images of what would be the perfect snow day.

For those of you who have pets, nothing beats a day in the snow with your dog. Even if he is a 10-pound chihuahua like mine:

That's not really him (he's bigger with tan colored fur). Photo coming soon!

 And of course, there's everyone's favorite cold-weather drink: hot chocolate!

Complete with heart-shaped marshmallows...how cute!

This sweater just screams snow, don't you think?

And these make me happy just looking at them:

And yet with all this snow, I'm still happy (and hopeful) that it's almost spring. Though I don't know what that means in Seattle weather terms...

What about you? Do you like the snow? Wish it were summer already? Please, share your thoughts!
