IT'S BAAAACK!

No that's not just SNOW on the TV screen, guess what little weather surprise came back this afternoon? You guessed it, SNOW. It's coming down right now like a fiend with up to six inch accumulations expected, POSSIBLY turning to rain by tomorrow (that also menas possibly NOT!). Ummmmmm. We're still digging out in our neighborhood, with lots of trees the old snow has been lingering.

Too bad, work had finally started get back to normal after New Years.

Friday and Saturday saw a steady stream of things coming in for cleaning, which is good.

If the bad weather keeps you inside, brighten your day by cruising the Iran National Carpet Center's pages.

Winter wonderland?

Between my guy having a total hip replacement surgery and the pre and post surgery hooha AND our special little weather treat, I haven't had much time to blog.

Streets here have been closed, we have 14 inches of snow in our yard and while (finally) main streets are getting plowed, most side streets are closed. 8 inches of solid slush is common. It was coming down faster than we could get rid of it.

We were unable to get the employees to work to clean rugs, unable to get the trucks out to clean rugs, clients were unable to get out to bring us rugs SOOOO the gist being we were pretty much closed between the 18th through Christmas. We're currently shooting for next Monday the 29th.

Even UW was closed for three days in a row. Now the thaw is hitting and the air is warmer than the snow so there's an odd looking fog everywhere rising from the snow. Rain is forecast starting tomorrow so we expect flooding and some busy times between water, holiday parties and pet accidents.

Hope that you all had a safe holiday. After the fist fight I saw today at Fred Meyers I guess the Peace on Earth thing is over until next year. Check out the lovely (and PEACEFUL) Christmas greeting from Dr Mehrabadi at the Iranian Interests Section in Washington DC. on Barry O'Connell's main page. I find it somehow ironic that all of my Christmas morning phone calls to wish us holiday greetings were from my Muslim friends.
