A truck moves around a fallen tree as heavy snow blanketed the area of Hwy 104 near Kingston, Wash. on Sunday, November 26.

My family makes our home in Seattle. It practically NEVER snows here. So, my kids get terribly excited when they see the smallest snowflake. Somehow, I'd like to take them back to my days in Wyoming when things like a tree blocking a snowy road was something you had to deal with instead of be excited about.
