We had a storm today. Actually, it started last night with a TON of freezing rain. Then, today, around 10:00 it started snowing and snowing and snowing, and then it snowed some more. All said, we have about 8″ at our house, which is more than twice as much as we’ve had before. Snow in Irrigon is just unheard of – we’re too close to sea level. I love it! It’s like winter in the Grande Ronde Valley all over again!
The downside to all this snow and ice, though, is that the power was out for over 8 hours today. By the time it came back on, our house had started getting pretty chilly and we had decided to stay the night at Aaron’s Mom & Tom’s house. When the power came back on, Aaron & I came home, but Katelyn decided to stay the night with Grandma & Grandpa.
During the day today, Katelyn and I took a drive around just enjoying the scenery and all the beauty. We had a great time finding neat things to take pictures of and just hanging out for a couple of hours.
The best part of the storm? Tomorrow is a snow day for school! Yay! I don’t know why, but I sure feel like I need that extra day before going back to work.
I hope everyone is well and safe! Have a great week!
