Snowpocalypse 2014

IMG_5534After a very dry winter, the moisture finally came in the form of snow. Portland is a funny place when it snows. We don’t get it very often -- maybe once a year or so in the city -- and it rarely lasts more than a day. This February though, we had four good days of snow. That happens about once or twice a decade. And when it does people here freak out and are sorely unprepared (sometimes it feels like this). Many places just shutdown, especially when the freezing rain came. But we love the snow and had a lot of fun.

Dana and Magnus spent on afternoon taking pictures down by Fort Vancouver. The snow was pretty. Magnus had fun except for getting snow in his shoe.

After watching The LEGO Movie we built a small snowman.

After the freezing rain we went to the park to look at the ice encrusted world.

At Farmor’s house we built a giant snowman and Anton made an igloo.

We had lots of fun in the snow.
