Yesterday we had about 6 inches of snow in the driveway. It did not quit snowing most of the day before and all day yesterday. However late yesterday afternoon it all changed around and the snow turned to rain and right now it is raining so hard that the roads are flooded and some highways are closed! The weather man told us this would happen, but me ever the skeptic thought that was ridiculous and chose to shovel my driveway instead of waiting for it to be washed away like the rest of my neighbors. I will just tell everyone I needed the exercise.
The weekend snow fall gave me a much needed break as all the functions I was to go to were canceled and I spent most of th weekend getting caught up on housework and some office stuff. However yesterday, despite the snow, I spent part of the day outside with Lucy. Lucy as you can imagine loves the snow and her favorite game in the snow is snow soccer!
Later in the afternoon we went to the Canyon with my friend Chris and his dog Kiera. It was like walking through a fairy land with all the trees covered in snow. The branches were so loaded down it covered the path and if I had not been there many times I would have easily lost my way. I took the camera, but the weather was so nasty I did not get very good pictures as I was afraid to expose my camera for any length of time. I fell several times and came home soaking wet!Today we are supposed to have winds of 80k to go along with the floods!
the snow is so beautiful! COuld you send that rain our way?
ReplyDeleteAre you guys still having a drought down there? We went from freezing to 12 C almost over night here. The snow has melted and the rain keeps coming!
ReplyDeleteLucy is so sweet she cracks me up. Out there playing soccer in the snow! You go, girl.
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting our first snowfall of the season tonight. We had wind gusts of 50 mph last night. We had to put our trash cans in the garage or they'd blow around the neighborhood.
Yes, we are. right now they are saying if we do not get any measurable rain soon, we have enough water to last until March. The scary thing is December and January are usually are driest months! So I am asking Santa for LOTS of rain!
ReplyDeletemomofk9s - you can have our rain trust me! It is still pounding down here. The roads are flooded and my car has a leak!
ReplyDeleteThat looks nasty...but Lucy is having fun so it's all okay. We didn't get too much snow over the weekend...thank goodness. But the winter hasn't even started yet!
ReplyDeleteDrowsey Monkey, We don't have any more snow! The ocean of water that has been dumped on us over the last two days took care of that!
