First and Second Snow

On October 27 we received our fist snow fall. Reports were that we would receive anywhere from 6-12 inches in the next day or two. We drove to Rifle to our nearest Walmart and bought snow shovels... and people looked at us kinda strange as the sun was still shining. But as we drove back to Meeker, the snow was falling in the mountain tops. This is what it looks like... very neat.

So it snowed about 6-8 inches and it all melted by Sunday, Nov.1. There was just a trace on the ground for the trick or treaters.

The second snow fall came on Friday Nov 13... and it was rain at 5:30 in the morning and by 8a.m. it was sticking to everything. It was another 6-8 inches and in the days leading to the snow we were supposed to get more on Sat into Sunday but it shifted and hit Denver on Sunday with a foot or more in some areas.

People tell us we should have 3 feet on the ground by now. We live in a Christmas Card setting...

The snow is mostly all melted again now, but that makes Thanksgiving feel more fall. I think I heard that we may see some more of the white stuff this Monday?!

I truly love winter and snow. Phil may not be as excited as I am about it though...he loved that about Belize- No Snow!

As they say You can take the Midwest girl out of the snow, but she will always be a bit flakey! ;-)
