Winter came to Bellingham this year and it looks like it might be here a little longer. Some years we don't get much winter here compared to places where they got lots of snow that is, but this year were getting our fair share. It's been piling up here in our corner of the world and it looks like a little bit more is on the way. Last week front wheel drive was good enough for me to get around, but they run to Les Schwab to get chains paid off as they were surely needed this morning. It was just amazing to see how many cars and trucks were off on the side of the road first night it snowed. Since then some of those folks either got chains or were staying home.

Those waiting for Mount Baker to open are sure to be happy, lots of new snow to play in right here, so I'm sure the skiing and snowboard crowd are in all their glory.

We may have a white Christmas after all. It's a great time of year to stay home and spend some time with the family. Here's what it looked like on this beautiful cold, crisp clear day on my deck up on Alabama Hill.

The Alabama Hill neighborhood has two parks, St. Clair and Highland Heights. The neighbors and users of Highland Heights Park have recently started a blog to try and get others interested in helping to get the city to make some needed upgrades to the park.

It seems like some of the park equipment has been breaking down and is being removed by the city. The good news is that the city has said that new playground equipment and professional service and design for the park are part of the 2009 city budget. The actual construction phase is in the 2010 budget. The bad news is that the city is projecting a budget deficit and they're looking for places to make budget cuts. The city had approved improvements to 2 parks in 2009, the other park has been removed from the plans leaving only Highland Heights. But considering the financial strains of the times, it probably wouldn't take much to take the park improvement off the budget.

The Alabama Neighborhood Association is trying to come up with ideas to help get the park improved. Their suggestions include a fundraiser, maybe a garage sale in spring, or some other creative way to come up with some funds to show the city that the neighborhood is serious about upgrading the park. With money on the table to help the city is less likely to remove the park improvement project from the budget.
