Ice.

And after the snow came the ice. That's our next door neighbor Leo's house.
Here is our backyard transformed into a winter wonderland.
It was a white and drifting snow as you can see by the snow on the back porch and even above the shed door.
Our porch light was not immune.
I set out for the grocery store and found that the coffee shop not only was closed, they had posted a notice on their door.
They know their limits. At least they shoveled.
Despite a coating of ice, this truck made it to Fred Meyer.
Trees were covered.
The Max line wasn't running due to a problem with the switches.

Matt and I walked to Pizza Fino to have dessert and found fun examples of ice.
Covering the Kenton neighborhood rose garden.
And these impressive icicles on Leo's house.
Deep snow with a layer of ice over it isn't the easiest thing to walk on, but it was doable. I may buy some crampons though, so I am ready for the next storm.
