Blizzard We had a call from Lily this afternoon. She was in Seattle, after what she described as a scary drive from Olympia in the snow.
She was about to head back to Olympia, which has already had more than twice the annual average snowfall, with more expected. Hope they won't lose their power at their house as more storms hit.
Seattle and most of the Pacific North-West are in the icy grip of a 'storm of the century'. So Lily and Grace will definitely postpone their drive down to San Diego, and if the weather doesn't break soon, they may not even make it home in time for Christmas.
It may be that on Monday they'll feel confident about starting off. We'll see. For the moment — down here in sunny but chilly San Diego — we're keeping our fingers crossed.
