The snow is back

Happy March!  

There is a saying about March,  In like a lion, out like a lamb!

This is definitely in like a lion!!  It is snowing again!  On top of the snow that didn't melt from last time.  

We just got home from soccer and the drive was fine.  Everett was a little yucky with a rain/snow mix, but it wasn't terrible.  South Bellingham all the way to the Smith Rd was TERRIBLE!!!  Lots of slickery roads and snow coming down by the tons! :)  There were about 3-4 cars in the ditches with police officers helping them just in one little area by the mall.  Traffic was going about 35mph except for a few crazies that thought it was fine to go 60...  Ferndale was fine down low, but on the way up my hill it started getting lots of snow.  I would say we had about an inch or so, but it has not stopped yet, and it is not going to for awhile.  

The sidewalk is already covered!

McKenzie is bringing all of her stuff inside from our LONG soccer day.  All of that lovely snow in the background.

We left this morning about 6:40 to meet up with a couple other Ferndale players/parents to caravan down to the game today.  We left at 7 to go catch the 8:40 ferry to Bremerton this morning.  We made the ferry in plenty of time and had no issues with traffic.  We got to the game plenty early.  The weather was not bad.  It was about 45* with a slight misty rain.  Not bad at all.  The girls played very well.  First half ended in a 1-1 tie and we played very well.  Second half, we struggled a bit and they lost 3-1.  They still played really well and made some great plays.  Our goalie played very well also, making some fantastic saves from the many corner kicks the other team had.

After the game we had a team lunch with some of the team and then headed back onto the ferry.  We got out of our cars on the ferry and went up top.  Looking down in the water, we saw two cute little sea otters. They are hard to see, but they are right by the chain in the picture.  There are two of them hanging out.  They were fun to watch!

We headed north to home and arrived safely! :)  So very glad that Spokane was cancelled and we just have two "local" games this weekend!  Tomorrow morning, we are off to Shoreline to watch some more soccer!  Weather permitting! ;)
