365 Project | Day 15 & 16 | Seattle Portrait Photographer

To feed off the last post, I have more stormy and snowy photos for you highlighting this crazy Seattle weather.  Another storm is supposed to blow in Wednesday and bring us up to 8 inches!  It may not seem like much to many of you, but 8 inches is a big deal around here.  We have {I've heard} two snow plows in the entire city; our mayor refuses to use salt on the roads; we have an insane amount of hills; and the majority of residents don't know how to drive in ice or snow.  So even though I grew up in Idaho where part of driver's ed was navigating through snow packed streets, I will not drive around here for fear of getting hit by someone else. :)

Besides the fact that I love good snow storms {or any storm, really}, the anticipation has quadrupled with the kid's excitement.  They are THRILLED to get snow, and of course a day off school.  We will most likely be sledding down some nearby deserted road for hours and then head in for some much-deserved hot chocolates.  But until the predicted storm comes {and the accompanying photos}, here are my pictures from the last two days.

The first is Isaac cleaning snow off the car while in our first snow storm.  I loved the simplicity of it mixed with the dense speckles of snowfall.  The second, from today, was taken while driving over the Ship Canal Bridge on I-5.  I've been wanting to take this photo for quite a while since we get a fantastic view of the Seattle skyline while on the interstate at least 500 feet above Lake Union.  Tim was driving by the way.  The dark clouds in the photo never turned into the predicted 1-3 inches of snow for us this evening, but it does look menacing and beautiful don't you think?
