Baby, It IS Cold Outside

Tonight it will be in the teens and tomorrow, it will not get above the high 20s F. We had about 4-5 inches of snow. It has been very windy so the snow is blowing and drifting. Essentially, Portland is closed. If you live in a climate where snow is de rigueur for this time of year, you probably don’t understand why most every thing is shut down.

I still can’t find a way to post photos. I have an SOS into my web guys in London. I guess I have to wait for them to start their work day tomorrow, in 2 or 3 hours. You can see what I have been up to and some views of the snow by going to my Flickr site.

Since we couldn’t get to church this morning, I took the time to clean up from the decorating frenzy of yesterday. I let Miles set up several of the nativities – Ha!! I want to set them up in a more orderly way and yet, it makes me happy to see how he did it. For now, they are staying in the manner of Miles!

This afternoon, I worked on organizing the layout for the What If piece by selecting and cutting the landscape pieces. I am going for a story book look, and I also want to give an idea of how the security wall takes over the landscape where it exists.

Hopefully, my photo issues will be resolved tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in.

    There I was, bitching and moaning about our cold: and you were so much colder!!! YIKES!!!! It is now unseasonably warm here….has it ever been seasonable anywhere?….so I guess it must be frigid in your neck of the woods! (I’ll read on to check!)

    Beautiful tree, and I love the Kings! Looks like the kids have had plenty to keep them busy, inside and out. The snow looks great, but I’m sure it is a bit of a pain.

    I hope you’ll be up and running again today – and please post a picture of Miles’ nativity scenes. I bet they are full of energy! Ick about the snow — so far here in NJ, so good. Clear and cold and some days, rain – keeping fingers x’d for no snow.

    The tree is beautiful, M&M did a great job. I especially like the blue lights. The What If piece is fantastic. I look forward to seeing more of it. Isn’t this weather nasty! We didn’t get as much snow, but it is bitterly cold. I tried to go for my walk today, but bagged it after a 1/4 mile. Take care.
