Paige In The Snow

The weather around Seattle has been pretty wild lately. In my neighborhood we had over a foot and a half of snow over Christmas and we were completely snowed in for a week! The kids loved it though! What once was white has now melted off and now we’re dealing with major flooding! Here are a few images from the Snohomish Valley that I took 2 days ago while checking out the flood waters.

The Snohomish river has breached it’s banks and several dikes protecting many houses from damage. Roads all over the valley are covered with water and are impassible. My Garmin GPS was very unhappy with me for not listening to it’s directions to get me home that evening. It seemed that every road I tried was covered over with water when you’d get to the low valley floor.
