Winter

The rain we’ve been getting all week turned to snow last night.

This was a surprise; I’d heard the snow level was supposed to start at 6000ft elevation and we’re only at 4000ft. The kids are happy — the schools are closed, so they get a 3-day weekend.

I’m loving this weather. We desperately need all the rain/snow/whatever form of water falling from the sky that we can get.

It’s starting to come down heavier, and now the forecast says more snow tomorrow. Glad I just stocked up on supplies and filled the firewood rack! Being snowed in for a few days is kind of cozy and nice as long as there’s no shortage of food, heat or dry socks.
