We had more snow in Port Townsend yesterday–four to six inches, drifting to 18 inches.
This let me re-experience another childhood memory: snow over the top of the boots and into the socks!
I took lots of photos of our neighborhood so everyone can show off their snowy house to their friends. With complete overcast, the lighting was not as magical as it was on the photos I took last week. The complete gallery is here.
The roads were extremely slippery. I was standing on the road and suddenly found myself sliding down hill! I’ll be driving later today and may put on chains to be sure I can get back up the hill.
I walked through Cappy’s Trails. It was a lovely walk surrounded by snow-covered trees. The snow photos are in this gallery.
Last week I saw only tracks of a cross-country skier. On this walk, I saw several pairs of skiers. Finally, personal experience of this rare sight! Staying in Port Townsend all winter (which is barely begun) is giving me the experience of a true winter again.
Thank you for taking a stroll through our wonderful neighborhood with your camera and keen eye. These photos are wonderful. Thank you for sharing them!
Hey Guy! I remember the snow over the boots and into the socks very well! I also remember trudging in the snow and not being cautious about falling. We fell gleefully. It was a great opportunity to make a snow angel!! I think the expression ‘watch your back’ must have come from snow days. There was always the anticipation of a snowball to the rear! Thanks for the memory!
Guy, great pics! You have material for several years worth of Christmas cards!
Boy, I remember that snow over the boot tops! and the mittens with a string through your sleeves so you won’t loose them. –and taking off your mittens because they were so wet and cold, then freezing your fingers because you just couldn’t stop playing in the snow!
The winter pictures are beautiful – thanks so much for posting them (this is my first introduction to Port Townsend).
I found your blog because of a question you asked about ‘comments’ in the wordpress help. I came to your blog to see if you had resolved it and noticed the comments widget – this is a good solution.
