Washington is experiencing the most snowfall in the PNW that they've had for quite some time. The snowball my son has designed is HUGE!!!! It's almost as big as he is!

No snow in L.A. And my freezer is waiting for the repairman. So all my snowfights will be virtual.
*sneaks around the corner of Shan's fort, and lobs a large, wet snowball at her*

It looks like a Christmas card outside. I don't think we're going to get as much as we did 7 years ago, though. That was outrageous. Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
*Squeals and ducks incoming lobbed missiles while simultaneously throwing half-a-dozen carefully crafted snowbombs!*
I don't know, jeni - we have a good six inches already here in Oly . . .
Pretty!

It is pretty! And I get to wear my snow booties and gloves and thermal underwear! I haven't broken out the snow pants yet because it's not that much snow....
*falls down and makes a snow angel*

It's too cold for snowballs up here! The snow we have (Ottawa) is fluffy, flakey and powdery and doesn't stick together at all!
However, I can make snow angels!

*Covers scottneb in slug slime and rolls him in the rock salt. "Take that!"*
Smiles benignly at JNSB - "Continue snow angeling, if you please."
*Retreats to fort and begins molding numerous missiles in preparation for the battle.*

No Fair! Posted by jeniwren (Member # 2002) on :
Shan, it won't touch the snow storms 7 years ago. Then, we got 3-5 feet in a week and a half. We won't get more than a foot here this time, and it's already getting warmer. Tomorrow's going to be a mess...they're saying freezing rain.
I'd say it was an advantage to work from home, but with the kids both home, it's not like I'll get much work done. Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
Too true, jeniwren, too true!
*Calls after scottneb "Come back - I'm sorry - next time don't try to melt our snow and I won't slugslime you . . . "*

We don't have any snow... we had three inches, but they went away. Oh well, hopefully we'll get more, it's getting c-c-o-l-l-d-d-d-e-r-r!!! Aaaaaaah!!! It was 6 degrees yesterday morning, and I froze to death!
*throws virtual snowball at rivka*

*Hears Shan's call and comes running back with diplomatic paperwork to negotiate the truce between the warring factions*

Nothing more than flurries out here so far. Of course, considering that a couple days ago we were experiencing temperatures more appropriate to mid-spring, I'm content.

Yay! Snowball fight!

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Teshi: This means war.
*collects HUGE snowball in gloved hands, and hurls it straight at Teshi*
*hides behind... something big*
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
*Ducks behind fort to review scottneb's paperwork. Signs on the dotted line. Shakes hands. Wipes snow from latest successful snow missile and dives over the top of the fort to tackle Bernard . . . "Gotcha"! So much for that trebuchet . . . ha ha ha!*
*Stands and stares in dismay as the snow stops falling and the rain begins.*
*Quickly molds a last few precious snowballs and prepares for the last ditch effort.*
