January 24, 2018 More Snow

Path to the north ridge.

Monday 1/22. We had actually received another 1/2" of snow during the night.  January is such a "down" month.  We usually cannot do much outside except for daily chores and walks.  Today we didn't go on an afternoon walk because the wind was gusting to 17 mph, which gave us a wind chill of 18, instead of the 30 that the temperature gauge showed.  Our high for the day was 33.

Actually, I think I was just lazy today and it felt good.

This evening, on the radio, Larry told us that a cougar had taken down a deer and dragged it across the road just below their house.  A big trail of blood and very large tracks.

We watched Atomic Blonde this evening.  Wow!!  Going to have to watch it several more times just to figure it out.  Lots of twists and turns.  One of the things I like about having a DVD is all the special features.  We watched how they made the very long fight scene which was all one take.  Amazing!

Tuesday 1/23. It was 26 and trying to snow at 8:00 am.  By 8:30 it was really coming down in tiny flakes.  It snowed all day and by 4:00 pm we had 3".  Our high for the day was 28.

It was another slow, winter day for me.  Am really into cooking lately and made a delicious chicken stew for dinner.  JB baked to loaves of banana bread.

JB drove MAX down to the main canyon road this afternoon to groom the road a bit.  He has to go Down There tomorrow for his last check-up on his back.  Also has to buy gas.  I gathered everything he will need for his trip.

We started the second season of The Americans this evening.  Very good series!

Wednesday 1/24. It is 28 and overcast this morning with high valley fog.  The forecast calls for snow through tomorrow.  Haven't yet measured to see how much we got overnight.

Thought for the day: Never put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket.
