5 years ago we drove to Leavenworth at X'mas eva, and it was snowing.... badly.
It was just raining along the coast line, but once we entered the mountain, the snow just fall and keep falling. I was on my 2 weeks old Honda Fit passing everyone on that 1-lane traffic since everyone was like driving 20 km/h. I need to get there for our X'mas dinner with my wife since I promised her, so I was in a bit of hurry, haha... Then I realize my Honda Fit comes with windshield washer that can't handle -10c from the factory. Nothing came out once the nozzle was frozen and that really sucks. Good that my wife was sleeping all the way otherwise she will be screaming out loud for the whole trip.
Anyway, that was our story with Leavenworth. Dinner was okay, town was small but beautiful and we enjoyed the walk around. All stores close at X'mas day, so we visited nothing. Snow continued to come down on the X'mas day and I had to dig my car out from the snow which accumulated up to my windows. we left after lunch and head home earlier. Quite a X'mas experience for us. |
