Superbowl Win! Snowpacalypse 2019

The Patriots brought home a big win in the Super Bowl this year. Though it was a low scoring game, it was still fun to cheer them on and we all got to wear our jerseys proudly to school/work to celebrate.

 

At least, that is what we thought. It started snowing the night of the Super Bowl (Feb 3) and didn't really stop in Seattle. We were out of school Feb 4 / Feb 5 / had a late start & early release Feb 6 / 2 hour late Feb 7 / early dismissal Feb 8. Woah! Here is a photo with Sully & Kellan from the second snow day, when it was still in the "fun" phase.

 We left Seattle on Friday at 11:15 AM (when school got out), stopped to ski at Stevens, and then set up at the cabin indefinitely to wait out snowpacalypse hitting Seattle. Eben did some extra grocery shopping Friday morning and the shelves were getting cleared out, there were long lines, as everyone was trying to get food before being stuck at home again. Here are some pictures from Highway 2 east of Stevens Pass.

 

Eben got to use the snow blower a lot at the cabin. We ended up staying there Friday - Tuesday as school still wasn't open.

 

We had a lovely dinner with Amy, Mike and their kids at their cabin, just a couple miles down River Road from ours.

 Reed and Lucy played a TON of Connect Four.

  We skied five days in a row at Stevens, often meeting up with friends. On Monday we ran into Trent & Rob from Shorecrest. Monday had *the best* powder I have ever experienced - light and fluffy and about 18" deep. It was absolutely incredible! Stevens got over 50" of snow in this storm.

On Tuesday we skied with Cally, Harper and Bryn plus Amy, Jenabel and Jasper. So much fun!

 

 

We came back to Seattle Tuesday afternoon and dug our house out of the snow.  

Reed had school Wednesday and had fun playing in the snow with his classmates. Shoreline District was still closed Wednesday and Thursday and I am now really sick of snow days!
