Weather woes, watchfulness, and wishes

Second Snowfall–Sweet!
At last! Although the winter storm that has driven across the country has caused serious problems in areas further to the west (hundreds of flights were cancelled in Denver due to the heaviest snowfall in a century), it has been … Continue reading
Snow nice with ice
The first real snowfall arrived yesterday, very quietly. It started with a very slight, light rain around noon, changing to thick snow as the afternoon faded toward evening. The snow continued until nearly midnight and thanks to a complete lack … Continue reading
