Winter wonderland?

Well, we got our first substantial snow of the season last night.  Since the elevation here is around 3500 feet I guess it’s safe to say the snow level must be around 3000’.  I also see by the traffic cams that there was some snow that spilled over into Honey Lake Valley which always gets rain shadowed out.  I used to hate that when I was wanting rain and snow and didn’t have anywhere I needed to go but we don’t have that problem here on the west side of the mountains.  There is more predicted for today and the outside temp right now is 33° so whether it’s snow or rain, we shall see.

It’s funny that as the seasons change we seem to grow tired of the scenery and when it changes so drastically overnight it looks so beautiful.  I’m sure that by March I will be very tired of seeing this beautiful scene when I wake up in the morning but for now it’s still very pretty.

Back from Idaho

We got back from Idaho yesterday, or maybe I should say we got back from Utah.  We only went up to Idaho Falls last Thursday for a funeral and the rest of the time we were in Logan Utah so technically we came back from Utah.

 

Anyway, the first night we stayed in Wells Nevada and woke up to several inches of snow on the ground.  Not what I wanted to see on a driving trip.  The interstate was pretty clear but there was a little slush on a couple of the mountain passes between Wendover and Wells.  It could have been much worse I guess so it was all good.

 

On the way home we stayed in Lovelock Nevada and just before we got there we saw the most beautiful sunset so Karen tried to take a few pictures of it with my new camera and here they are.

I’m trying a new way to post pictures on this blog so let’s see how it works.

 

So we are back in Greenville just in time for a major winter storm which is supposed to be here by Friday.  Our friend Eric is coming here on Saturday and that seems to be the worst day of the week for traveling.  Wouldn’t you know it!
