Another snow day. Here, a young snow father watches his snow daughter play in the white while the snow father contemplates the clouds to the East for any sign of relief. 
Fido, here, is hoping the family heads to Starbuck's for a warm cocoa, a treat, and a warm chair on which to plant one freezing bottom ...
...which, they do...and Fido gets a chance to thaw...and watch ever-so carefully for family to reemerge...
It's been an interesting time, up here in the typically wet and dreary Northwest. Record windstorms followed by record cold temperatures, followed by snow and ice and school closures. We went for a walk today, braving the slippery streets and sticking to the sidewalks where the snow, so dry and fresh, crunched like cornflakes under our feet and clumped together on our boots. Soon, we had high-heeled snow boots. We'd stop every once and awhile to stomp our feet clean of clumpy snow only to repeat the action every 100 steps.
It's beautiful, though. What can you do? Can't make school happen. Can't make the snow go away. Can't make the temperatures change. Can't even stop the rain forecasted later today that will freeze overnight and make tomorrow even more iffy.
Treacherous conditions indeed...so more waiting and watching tonight...and maybe some chocolate chip cookies for the good of the order.

The streets seem clear today, but the CK School District started two hours late anyway -- and cancelled kindergarten. So Allie did make it here today ... just not on to school. Maybe tomorrow.
Bookworm's off trying to make up for lost 'client hours'. Being your own boss means NO WORK - NO PAY.
