I\u2019ve gone a little viral<\/strong>.\u00a0 Remember that video I made over the weekend of me making the snow monolith<\/a>?\u00a0 It\u2019s got like 1200 views in the last 2 days!\u00a0 As YouTube videos go, that\u2019s not much, and several of my previous productions have gotten similar seemingly random popularity.\u00a0 Still, it\u2019s nice in times like this when my little hobby generates a modicum of \u201csuccess\u201d.\u00a0 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\ufeff off! Awesome!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The snow continues here in Seattle!\u00a0 In fact, yesterday, we got like 6 inches of snow!\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Knowing the delicacy of my little patch of the power grid, I bought myself a big, powerful new flashlight. Good thing too.\u00a0 After closing, my 3 miles down the freeway at 35 mph (not because of traffic; that\u2019s just what the conditions dictated) ended with me discovering that yes, my home was without power.<\/font><\/p>\n

Nor was there any heat.<\/font><\/p>\n

I played ukulele for a bit.\u00a0 Didn\u2019t feel like reading.\u00a0 Not much else to do at home by yourself with the power out.<\/p>\n

So I headed out for a walk in the quasi-dark.<\/p>\n

Every city dweller knows how your own town\u2019s lights create a glow at night when it\u2019s completely overcast.\u00a0 The clouds themselves seem to glow from the reflections of millions of sources on the ground.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

It snowed more again today, but the worst of it is supposed to be over. Tomorrow, high-30\u2019s and rain to melt the leftover snow.\u00a0 This may be our only visit from the whitestuff this year, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.\u00a0 I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed it too.<\/p>\n
