Love and Snow

Today, one year ago, is the night I proposed to Chunlin.

I made a good decision!

... In other news, it snowed today. We have three inches at our house and it's still coming down. Monty says we'll get 1"-3" more. And rain tomorrow.

We went out to breakfast at the 5-Spot in Queen Anne. Busy restaurant, and deservedly so. Prompt service for how busy they were. Tasty food, too.

We walked across Queen Anne over to Kerry Park. Since I didn't reserve the park, it was cloudy. Still a good view. A lot colder than our wedding, though! The base of Mt. Rainier was clear, but not most of it.

So then we went to look at real estate. When we were in South Park, it started to snow. It wasn't sticking, though. When we were in Rainier View, it still wasn't sticking on the roads. When we were in Thorndyke, it started to stick on the pavement.

Heading back down the hill was a bit tricky. Our first choice was blocked by a bus. The driver didn't really want to go down that street. So we turned around and took a different road down... at about 15 mph. Turning corners was a bit tricky. Stay away from other cars. Don't trust those drivers! Back down to Interurban, and onto I-5.

You'd think the freeway would be clear of snow, but it was still quite slushy. Downtown had a backup, but we got home safe and sound eventually.

And just for fun, here's one from yesterday at work:
