Snow fell in the Puget Sound this weekend as part of a big winter storm that swept the country. We were anchored at Port Madison, on the north end of Bainbridge Island, when the white stuff started. Even though the temperature was several degrees above freezing, snow began building up quickly. It was a wonderful winter scene.

Port Madison was a fitting locale for a snowy day in the Puget Sound. Bainbridge Island and Walt Woodward, editor of the Bainbridge Island Review, were the inspiration for local author David Guterson’s novel, Snow Falling on Cedars.
