Couldn’t We Just Run an Extension Cord?!?
I’ve gone a little viral. Remember that video I made over the weekend of me making the snow monolith? It’s got like 1200 views in the last 2 days! As YouTube videos go, that’s not much, and several of my previous productions have gotten similar seemingly random popularity. Still, it’s nice in times like this when my little hobby generates a modicum of “success”. This comment made my day today.
That was hilarious, and totally enjoyable! I loved the music, the random shots of the cat, the candor, the total randomness, and finally the my little pony to top it off! Awesome!
The snow continues here in Seattle! In fact, yesterday, we got like 6 inches of snow! I was working for most of it, but as people trickled in to buy flashlights and generator cables, I surmised that this winter storm was causing power outages. Knowing the delicacy of my little patch of the power grid, I bought myself a big, powerful new flashlight. Good thing too. After closing, my 3 miles down the freeway at 35 mph (not because of traffic; that’s just what the conditions dictated) ended with me discovering that yes, my home was without power.
Nor was there any heat.
I played ukulele for a bit. Didn’t feel like reading. Not much else to do at home by yourself with the power out.
So I headed out for a walk in the quasi-dark.
Every city dweller knows how your own town’s lights create a glow at night when it’s completely overcast. The clouds themselves seem to glow from the reflections of millions of sources on the ground. Never before have I appreciated or experienced this phenomenon more than last night, when the lights were out in my neighborhood, but 97% of the rest of Seattle still had power.
It snowed more again today, but the worst of it is supposed to be over. Tomorrow, high-30’s and rain to melt the leftover snow. This may be our only visit from the whitestuff this year, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you’ve enjoyed it too.

Was thinking of you yesterday. I had heard you got more snow in one day than normally all winter.
Very interesting video! Both Dad and I enjoyed it.
I prefer camping lanterns to Flashlights. Better reading light.
With remnants of Hurricanes, Wind Storms, and Ice Storms we have 1 or 2 outages a year of a week or more. But all that greenery comes with a price.
Keep the house shut tight. no unnecessary drafts. quick enter and exits. don’t dawdle with the door open.
Open the refrigerator only when necessary.
and remmeber the Libraries have internet and warmth.
Just so viral does not involve the flu. OK? Glad you are enjoying the snow since what is the other choice. I’m with Roscoe on the camping lanterns…
