Like the snow? We had 60 inches last month (all still here) and it
snowed on New Year Day and today (1/2/09). More snow scheduled for
Sunday and again on Monday night. I've been working from home a lot
because school is not in session and the roads have been scary. It has
been 3 weeks since we have had a garbage pickup. Thankfully it is cold
enough that nothing smells. It is difficult to drive around our
neighborhood because we have only been snowplowed once in all this.
Every single day when I see the additional snow I think "boy wait till I tell Mom, she isn't going to believe it!"
Stephen
fell off his mom's roof yesterday (5' of snow on a roof is getting to
the point where roofs are falling in all over Spokane). He went off
like he was trying to fly like superman. The snow is so deep, the only
thing hurt was his pride!
We had 60 inches of snow last Jan
& Feb, then 60" in December so we decided if we are going to get 10
feet of snow a year, we better find something fun to do in it, so we
ordered some snow shoes on line for the three of us. (All the stores
are sold out).
I tried Jessie's out yesterday and I think it will at least help me get to the mailbox even if I'm not in the mood for trecking around the backyard or the neighborhood.
We have 5 ski resorts within 2 hour drive, so the skiers are VERY happy.
When I figure out how to post a picture (maybe this weekend?) I'll post some of our house with the snow.
remember when i was at your port orchard farm in 1990. i was rewebbing my snowshoes then. i still have them. funny how things happen. thank you very much for being my northern neighbor. remember sandy sanderlin from the san diego search and rescue team. he passed away on nov. 14, 2007. he was a great friend. i was touched by knowing such a person. love you all and have a very great new year, joseph
