In the last 48 hours we have had 21 inches of snowfall. And yet the kids were out sledding in the arctic tundra risking their lives with my permission, what a bad dad. I wonder if the Seattle schools were out today?
I enjoyed a life-threating 3 mile run on our trails in knee deep powder. It was a great time.
The woods were a quiet wonderland of snow and trails. It was great.
Tonight I was scheduled to be on shift at the Fire Department. Here we go with a great example
of why... well just look at the Honda Civic Snow Plow...

I spent 45 minutes gaining 100 or so feet of my own driveway. It was amazing. The whole back and forth thing could have been out of an America's Funniest Videos. After securely anchoring the Civic in a frozen hole I contacted the department letting them know it was becoming evident I may not make it in. They filled the shift quickly with a local volunteer. Then I switched to the wife's car...
As you can imagine that didn't go so well either. We spent a large portion of last night getting Cheryl and here car home, finally deciding to park it in the neighbors driveway because we could not get into our own. As I made some very husbandly attempts to free her vehicle from the glacier, I, uh, well. The wonderfully secure cable chains were quickly entangled in the front axle after a few well practiced "back-and-forths" and a good rear ending of the neighbors shrubs. I called the department and confirmed I would not be in tonight, they understood. Cheryl and the boys were excited to have me home for the night.
