A White Christmas!!!!

It snowed on Christmas! While some of you are rolling your eyes as you think of the snow shoveling that you still have to do this afternoon, we are ecstatic. See, in Seattle there are only 5 Christmases since 1909 where there has been snowfall on December 25th. Mind you, this is lowland Puget Sound snow - heavy, wet sloppy snow that melts on contact with the ground - but it is snow nonetheless and we aren't going to complain. If you squint your eyes and look up at the sky you can almost pretend that you aren't standing in the soggy patch of green moss you call a lawn, but are instead in a beautiful winter wonderland.

In fact we may walk down to the Puget Sound when I finish here to enjoy snow on the beach of Dash Point State Park. On the way we can waymark the local waste treatment plant that sits in an idyllic little forested spot on the way to the park. What could be more "Christmasy" than waymarking a waste treatment plant I ask you? I'm always looking for a chance to grab a new icon. ;)

Merry Christmas and happy waymarking!
