12 Inches!!!

It snowed so much yesterday that they cancelled school today. Now, most of my friends who were born and raised in Seattle may think that it is not that big of a deal when school gets cancelled, but here in Spokane the last time they cancelled snow was November of 1996. WOW, that's a long time! Man, I've really learned that these Spokanites are real troopers! Just goes to show how dissapointed I was the first year I lived here and realized that I couldn't "call in sick" to work just because it snowed an inch.

Anyway, between Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening it snowed about 12 inches here. I didn't go anywhere during that time period. The snow was up to the bottom of the car, so my hero Shawn had to come over and get my car out. I was literally stuck in a hole and about one inch away from high-centering. It took him a good 10 rocks back and forth, but he finally got me out. I don't know what I would have done without him! Except maybe I would have been able to "call in sick" to work...

Here's a photo of the plow pile outside of Shawn's house. Check out how deep that is!!!
