The temperate rainforests in Olympia are a great climate to live in because they are, well, temperate. Its never too cold or too hot…always somewhere in the middle, which is definitely a preferred weather pattern  if you ask me. That being said, we don’t get too much snow that actually sticks around here, so when we do, it is a super exciting experience for someone who absolutely adores snow like I do.

Yesterday, we saw snow fall all throughout the day and transform Olympia and its beautiful forests in to something right out of the Chronicles of Narnia. I am lucky enough to have class in the farm house (which is essentially like going to class in a cabin in the middle of the woods), so it was incredible to watch the snow fall from the cozy atmosphere of the classroom. We actually even had a potluck planned for that class period, so I was able to watch the snow fall with a hot cup of tea and a delicious plate of raspberry chocolate cake. Definitely could not get any better than that.

After class I went for a bit of a walk around the snowy woods surrounding the farm house. There aren’t a lot of experiences I love more than walking through woods that are so silent that you can hear the snow falling, so I was not about to let the one opportunity I have per year to do that slide by. I was able to take some beautiful pictures, though, photos can never truly do that experience justice. Overall, it was a super lovely day in Olympia. Just enough snow to make the world look magical but not enough to disrupt the regular flow of day to day life.
