Is 18 inches of snow really THAT big of a deal??? In Seattle it is. The city is paralyzed by a winter snow "storm". It's totally ridiculous. They've cancelled all outgoing flights due to "weather conditions". What they need to admit is that it's because they cannot deal with mother nature. Seattle owns a handful of plows, if that, and I have not seen a single salt truck. I feel as though I am living in pioneer times, getting of a hill and onto the next is dangerous because the ice is layering the roads and snow has caked over that. There are unnecessary accidents, because the city hasn't gotten it through it's thick skulls that a couple of snow plows might actually help. I was hoping global warming would help government change their ways.... I guess not.
On a more positive note, the third day of our Winter Arts Camp went really well. We made Luminaries and made a snowman at Cal Anderson park. The kids named her "Lady Winter Arts". Tomorrow is the last day of camp; we'll be weaving cedar bark baskets and making clove oranges.
