Here’s wishing you a Happy New Year filled with peace, joy and prosperity!

Brrr! The last month of 2008 was very cold in beautiful Seattle, Washington, with a record low of 14˚ on the 20th. Seattle and surrounding areas got hit hard with snow for two weeks starting on the 13th. Photos above were taken on December 23rd on Queen Anne right out side our front door, facing South and North. Downtown buildings are visible in the background in the top image. We were snowed in for 7 days – very surreal and unusual for Seattle.

…Seattle had record snowfall on December 14, 20, 21, and 24. Total snowfall for the month was 13.9 inches at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport – other areas around Seattle received much more snowfall, up to two feet in some areas.
