It's February 7th today and out here in Seattle we've been paid a little visit from Old Man Winter. We hadn't gotten graced by his presence for this winter season yet. Until now!
He's successfully covered our streets, sidewalks, and cars with snow. In Seattle we got around 3 inches and up north just a short drive they were blessed with up to 12 inches!

Of course we started warming up right after and were able to melt some of the snow away, but that quickly turned to ice upon nightfall when Old Man Winter turned down the temps!
We're not really equipped for this type of weather out here, so ice remains prevalent and creates quite dangerous conditions with all the hills we have.

Now it's been clear for a few days and slowly we're melting away the ice during the day. However, rumors of a surprise winter storm are brewing.
I took the moment to thank Old Man Winter for stopping by the Pacific Northwest.

He reached out of the ice to shake my hand!

Nice to see you again, Old Man Winter... I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us this next week!
