We just broke the record of snowfall here is Spokane. The record was set back in the 1950's with almost 13 inches of snow in a 24 hour period. Well, today we broke that record. We got 17 inches! And it is still snowing. It's been unbelievable. We have been fortunate to have fairly mild weather for November and December with little to no snow, and fairly warm temperatures. 
Of course all that has changed. We have been enjoying very chilly temperatures the last week (single digits) but yesterday it warmed up a bit and started to snow, and it hasn't stopped. We have shoveled the driveway 3 times in 16 hours and are still having trouble keeping up.
It is beautiful though. It makes me think we live in some resort ski mountain/village. It is so clean and white and oh so quiet. I guess I will just stay home and enjoy it. I have to actually since I won't be able to drive on the deep snow covered roads without getting high centered. It's crazy but cool, too.

It has been snowing here for two days now! That's fine with me, before this it was below zero for a couple of days. I shoveled us out and then our plow driver came. He said they only had 3 - 4 inches in Troy so he almost didn't come out...we have a foot on the road! Now I can't even see the houses across the lake, it is snowing so heavily. The good news is...it's 14 above and that feels heavenly compared to 14 below zero!
Happy skiing! Or in my case, snowshoeing!
I love it!! It seems like it never snows enough to just make everything stop. It's usually just enough to make it all miserable to get around. I hope Daryl gets to enjoy the snow day with you.
