January’s snow storm provided a wonderful sledding hill on the road going to the Jefferson Beach Fishing Pier near Kingston Wa. The sledders were flying down as soon as the road became packed enough for the sleds. Since the road curves and is a good distance from start to finish it was an exhilarating experience for sledders of all ages including moms, dads, kids, and even grandpas. Approximately 6 inches of snow was received in a day long burst of winter weather making a winter wonder land for everyone to enjoy. People seemed to be out all day taking walks, sledding, visiting neighbors, and sharing food. Chili, fresh baked corn bread and hot chocolate were enjoyed in our neighborhood, especially by the youngsters who worked up enormous appetites dragging their sleds up the hills. Our local children slept especially well that night.
The monochromatic scenery supplied a dramatic backdrop for even amateur photographers.
A January morning breakfast at the Yacht Club Broiler in Silverdale Wa was just the way to brighten a dreary blustery winter day. We enjoyed roast beef hash with eggs, scones and coffee laced with a little Baileys to warm us. Yummy!
The perfect picture of our Northwest winter weather can be seen from the deck of the Yacht Club Broiler. Dare say this is the weather that makes us enjoy chowder, bread and coffee.
A flock of Mallards were enjoying the winter weather at the Silverdale Waterfront Park. It was quite evident the weather suits them just fine. Guess our weather is for the birds.
