| Larry & Elsie arriving in their SnoCat Sunday afternoon, being greeted by the dogs. |
Monday 2/18. By the time I fed the girls at 8:00 am, the temperature had dropped from 20 to 14, but it is going to be such a beautiful day.
It took Larry and Elsie almost 2-1/2 hours to drive the three miles from their house to ours yesterday afternoon. They didn't plow, but at one point on our road, Larry had to back up the use the plow to push aside a large snow drift. The trip back down was a bit faster. They plan to come back up in a couple weeks or so.
I took today off, doing only my daily chores, eating, reading and taking the dogs on an afternoon walk. The snow on the south ridge has sunk sufficiently for me to make a path across to the west. I only sank down to mid-calf, instead of mid-thigh or waist. Dinga thought that was great fun, but Jesse wanted nothing to do with it. JB puttered around a bit outside, but mainly it was a down day for both of us. Neither of us slept very well last night. Probably too much excitement. . .
The day warmed up to a high of 34, but that wasn't for very long. Once again the sun was quite warm, and there was no fog of any kind.
Tuesday 2/19. It is 23 this morning and the sky is overcast. My project for today is to clear off the deck, so I got that done before lunch. I use the snow shovel but I don't pick up and throw, rather cut and shove off the edge.
The overcast began to break up and the sun was out by 1:00 pm, with large patches of blue sky, and the high for the day was 38. On our afternoon walk, I could see that it was snowing in the mountains, but doesn't look like it will come our way.
It is a full snow moon tonight, how appropriate. A very bright full snow moon.
Wednesday 2/20. It is 22 this morning and overcast again. More snow is due in.
