When did that start?
I did not make it up to Camano Island do to some odd phone things.When I was part way home from Redmond I was getting pelted with snow. I think we had ice at
about 6PM here.

We were playing Bunko at 11:30pm and someone looked outside and noticed that it was coming down heavy and covered everything. Stopped now, but it is starting to freeze on our vehicles.

Same here in Kirkland...heavy snow late last night, but not much of it stuck. There's a nice sheet of ice however on everything

Happy New Year! I have high hopes for 2017...

I really enjoyed that comic.

Snow is gone, but it is still cold enough to make the roads fun/dangerous off the beaten path when the chems/salt haven't been dropped. Pushing mid 20s here at home. I should probably go wrap the faucets outside LOL, pushing my luck so far this cold season.

30ºF here right now and the forecast has it dropping down to 25ºF by sunrise.

Think I leave the heat on again tonight. Heat pump takes a long time to make up
for the temp loss if it can do it without turning on the electrical heater.

I think we peaked around 30 degrees too, but it feels a lot colder. Washed the truck anyway after a long drive and some sun-soak to warm her up. Needed to try out my new brush and foam sprayer!

The next few days are going to be very cold. I turned on the space heater in my garage just to keep things manageable there. Should probably go put some de-icer down on my driveway since it's wet...

Last day of vacation...return to the normal world tomorrow. Tomorrow morning is going to S.U.C.K
