No snow day.

Not even one flurry fell on Seattle. A "snow shadow" (much like the "rain shadow" that makes Sequim so popular for retired folks) cast by the Olympic Mountains pushed the storm to the North of us - Everett, Marysville, Bellingham - and to the South of us - Tacoma and Olympia. I waited all day - kind of like in middle school - for the teacher to say "you're going home early". But it never happened and two people on staff were out today to stay home with kids whose schools had been closed in anticipation. We didn't have practice because of the roads in Everett.

So disappointing.

But so reminiscent of middle school - waiting for snowy days.
