There is snow in little Kenmore, Washington. It is falling outside, and very, very cold.
I was under the impression that it would stop snowing soon after it started, between 7:00 and 8:00am yesterday but it didn't. So I bundled up, got ready to go and left for the bus. Washington, or at least this area of the state is not entirely prepared for storms such as the one that is affecting the whole of the Seattle area. All the buses were running on their snow routes. the bus that we were waiting for didn't come for about half an hour after it was supposed to come. so we fearless bus riders froze our little feet off as it just kept flaking down upon our happy little heads. I got halfway to school before I called and found out that the campus was to be closed by 10:30am. so, I got off the bus at the transit station, and took the next one homeward. it took me about 1.5 hours to get halfway, and none of the buses would take the hill that SCC is on. There was a complete cancellation today, so I have time to prepare for classes that will (hopefully not) meet tomorrow.
On another note, I have been employed through Kodak/Qualex to take Santa pictures for a seasonal job! Orientation/training is today, and I'm so excited! of course I have to reach the University Village Mall by bus before I can celebrate, but after that it'll be a blast! I love working with children, and it has been quite some time since I have gotten to do so. I just hope that I will have the warmth to not freeze on my journeys. I need more insulation!
Here is a poem for snow:
Snow snow, love the snow
hate the cold, don't you know
My feet, they freeze, as the wind does blow
but I'll soon reach indoors where there's loads of cocoa
Fancy that, there's snow in Kenmore...
