2004.01.06 - A good amount of snow
For the fourth time since Christmas, Olympia is getting snow... this time, though, its quite a bit.   It also stayed cold, and the snow we got last time was still on the ground.

We ended up with about a foot or so... Respectable, even for the New Englanders in my family!

There was enough snow so that I had to shovel the driveway, even... first time since I moved up to the Puget Sound Area!

Everything pretty much was shut down in town... a few people drove around, but the road was pretty dead for the most part.

I picked up some inner tubes the day before... and after work, we built a ramp on the corner of the storm drain containment well for the neighborhood, and went tubing...

Yep, that's me about to bite it!

The whole neighborhood was sledding... snow doesn't come often here in the Pacific Northwest, and when it does, people take advantage of it!
