alto: yes, I remember it well. I grew up in Michigan where we saw frequently this type of weather and its brother when we lived in Chicago, Ill. It got old very fast, especially when one shoveled the snow by hand, awaking in the morning only to find another 4-6 inches needing shoveling.
This type of storm system is unique for this area west of the Cascade Mountains and usually, any snow we get melts in a day or so. It looks like this is going to stay awhile longer. We never brought a shovel west and I am hell bent on not purchasing one for a freak snow storm that may or may not happen. ( one of those Irish stubborn battles we fight when there are no windmills around ) ;-)
Stay warm, and may the Yuletide and the New Year bring all of us better times.
Hey Butch! Sorry to be away so long. Thinking of you, though, and hope that your unusually wintry weather didn't wreak too much havoc with your home celebrations of the season!
Wouldn't you have better luck against a windmill with a snow shovel than a jousting pole? ; )
The snow is melting and it is raining this morning. ( our typical weather this time of year )

I'm a married gentleman of thirty-eight years in the Pacific North West state of Washington. My professions have been in medicine as a Naprapathic physician, music performance as a principal operatic tenor and teaching applied music voice at the university level and privately along with private instrumental instruction. Since retirement from medicine, I began composing and arranging music in the Celtic-American Folk genre and did performance in Irish Celtic Music and American Folk music of which I have recently retired due to my health. My interests are eclectic and I enjoy meeting people and making friends.
The musical group I was in when we were performing was Mooney Woods and Nogle and we made two CDs. The most recent released was in December of 2010.

East meet west.
We just had ours two days ago and I swear that is my patio in the picture.
In this part of the world that snow will be there until March, so trust me when I say the novelty is on countdown to get old real soon!

Stay dry and warm and give a pet to Badum.
