First Real Snow (Home Adventure)

Finally after waiting years. We got our snow storm. After retiring almost 6 years ago I have been waiting for some major snowfall here on the lake. Now that I do NOT have to be anywhere. No flights to take. In fact NO obligations “Let It Snow” Got up as normal just before 5am, made coffee, started the fireplace fire, & went out to bring in the paper for Anita. There was no sign of snow. Just dark and dry pavement in the driveway. I thought to myself “Oh Damn No predicted snow” Shortly after I got settled in for my morning computer reading I got up to refill my coffee cup and notice a thin dusting on the porch railing. I sort of chuckled to myself thinking” Ya here is our big snow of the year”. Well as you can see from the picture my snow dreams have come true. It’s now 11am and it’s still coming down and I am just waiting for Anita to get suited up so we can go explore the neighbor hood.
Day II: The skies have cleared and now the snow is in full bright. We did get out today to run some errands. No problem with the streets that were still totally white with compact snow and ice. The Rav4 preformed beyond my expiations. Now the news is predicting the storm from hell starting sometime tomorrow. They are saying the possibilities of 4 to 12 in of snow along with possibly 70mph winds. I had better get out and get some gas for the BBQ incase we loose power and I got to have my coffee. All is fuzzy and cozy at the moment.
DayIII: It’s around 9am and we are getting ready to go out and get the provisions just incase the storm does happen. It’s bright, sunny, & 21 degrees her.
The cat and flamingo are settled in and ready for anything.
Day IV: Helped Dave Oliver help get the paper boy(man) get his car back on the road and on his way. So we were the ONLY ones in the neighborhood that got our sunday paper as the Seattle Times instructed him to give up on the deliveries down here. Watched the Seahawks WIN their final home game under coach Holgrem. Then went to a impromptu gathering at Dave and Liz Olivers. Started snowing again noon.
Day V: Lots of now somewhat wet snow fell last night and made some more beautiful sights. We are now getting ready to attempt getting Ginny out the airport for her trip to NC to spend the holiday with her nephew Bill and family

Once Again LET IT SNOW
