Because of the snow these days there are a few unexpected funny incidents. On the TV the school closings were announced and it said: ”Open Door Church closed”. Well, OK, the last few days have been heavy. It was a good thing we did not have to go out at all. Our front gate is blocked by about 3 feet of snow (about 1 m), and only people who have snow chains on the tires or have studded tires are out. Kristy and Tim Healey came once to check on us and pick up some items they had asked Velda to make for them, but otherwise we stayed holed up. Calling Germany – my sister and brother and Beate and Klaus – I found out that Portland Oregon had even in Germany been shown on the TV. Yes it was bad, and some of the interstate roads too were affected by the snow and ice storm and totally closed down. First came 6 inches of snow, then half an inch of ice, then another 6 inches of snow which was very nicely and lovingly blown around by a good storm. We were very glad that in King City all electrical wiring is under ground, so we did not have the problem of trees falling over wires and the whole neighborhood is down and out of electricity. In one instant we heard of an about a one week power outage. Poor people with no heat except for open fires. Now today – December 24 – it is getting warmer and I have the feeling that the snow is melting. By the weekend it should be over. Lets hope so!
