Winter wonderland

We awoke on Monday morning to find that a couple of inches of snow had fallen overnight. It's been a while since Nate and I have lived in a place that gets this sort of accumulation!
The temperatures haven't gotten out of the 20s this week, and the roads are pretty slick, with a thick layer of icy snow. Still, I braved the roads yesterday afternoon to mail our Christmas packages and get more birdseed for our feeders. It was sort of fun practicing "winter driving" again! We're due for more snowfall on Wed/Thurs and again this coming weekend. Here's the view from Nate's building on campus, looking west toward Mary's Peak in the coastal range.
