January Evening

Yesterday evening, we received 3-4 inches of snow in a few hours. Gabe exclaimed that we'd have six feet in the morning! I had a hunch the forecast was correct for lots of Northwest rain and sloppy mess by morning. Anyway, Gabe and Lydia didn't waste time and took advantage of the perfect crunch and packing consistency for snow balls and men. It was indeed beautiful late last night, everything cloaked in a heavy garment of white stillness under the light of a half moon not yet obscured by heavy rain clouds.
