I went down to the church, and noticed the wind blowing off the roof... It was the beginning to a "Blizzard warning" from the NWS that had all of the news channels in "Disaster of 2008" mode... I didn't know about the whole blizzard thing, but it seems that this place is trying REAL hard to be a winter wonderland!

Driving down to the church, there wasn't much of a hint of the approaching blizzard...

I did notice the wind picking up while leaving the church... it was pretty cool-looking!

While doing the final rounds for lockup, there was only a bit of snow... no real wind.

Sunday Morning, we noticed that we'd lost power for a bout 2-3 hours... but it was back on.  It was hard to tell how much snow we'd gotten, because it was blown around in the wind.  We had a sizable drift in the driveway... you couldn't tell I'd shoveled at all.

I went to the church to drop off the computer for the slides, but no one was there... I called the pastor, and he let me know that he'd called the first service, and suggested I drop off the computer as his place... he had a big drift out front of his house...

When we DID have church, we did an impromptu play -- the cast didn't snow up for the "Christmas Gig" we'd had planned, so we made up one real quick with the kids who DID make it.

It was a lot of fun...

Down in North Bend, the roads were pretty good... I did notice the stop light had twisted a bit... the red light was fine, but the others were rotated about 45 degrees or so... I guess the wind was the culprit.

The road heading up to our house, about 600 feet above North Bend, was pretty good... the guys who plow the roads do a good job around here.
