It’s snow week here in the high desert. The construction crew almost got everything done on the hill, but has just a couple of small tasks that will have to wait for drier weather. I’m mostly staying indoors and catching up on paperwork and starting the annual trauma known as “taxes.”
This is what the world looks like here:
Overnight snows. Under there is the road.
Here’s a picture of the hill from the kitchen. Yes, all these pictures were taken from inside the house.
Here’s the winter version of kitty TV. Birds and cats seem to be happy with this.
The only real outside activity so far is me and the snow shovel. Well, there was one drive to the store for milk and a stop at the Starbucks. Work on the workshop is on hold until the snow melts. Quilting resumes after I find all the tax documents … sigh …

Oh, it looks pretty! Okay, I admit I’m one of “those” people who like snow. A few flurries are flying in the air as I write this but I doubt we get any accumulation. Winter is easier to take when the ground is covered in snow, if you ask me. We’re very accustomed to driving in it here in western PA, so the only way we don’t get out is if we have feet of snow and that hasn’t happened lately.

Out here it only snows for a few days and all melts before the next snow. Driving in it isn’t too bad as the roads clear fast.

That’s how it was when we lived in Portland, OR. If it snowed at all, it only lasted a day, sometimes just hours. But oh mercy, those Portlanders did NOT know how to drive in snow.

It was that way back in San Jose, but here, most Nevada drivers seem to know what to do.

The nice thing about living in a place where it rarely snows is that you can actually take a ‘snow day’. If you tried that on the prairies where I grew up, you’d be looking at six months indoors. 😉

We’re lucky on that score. At least this snow will be gone in a few days.

I don’t think you had that kind of snow in NoCal. Cold yes but snow? I’ve never driven in snow!

That’s what I thought, but the IRS, DMV and insurance companies have different expectations.
