Snowing...again

Did I mention that the Aerie is getting snowed on again?

After two days during which the temperature climbed above 40 degrees and much of last Friday's snowfall melted away, a system from out in the mid-west is moving through today and tonight to drop anywhere from 3 to 5 inches of snow on my little mountain retreat. The exact amount will depend upon just how high the temperature rises during the day. If it gets warm enough, we'll get some freezing rain instead of snow and that packs down more than the fluffy flakes.

That's okay though because the Bolt Hole, a little further to the northeast is going to get between 6 and 12 inches.

Terry headed to New Jersey yesterday to meet with some friends from SAGA and will be flying to Irving, CA for a SAGA Executive Board meeting on Wednesday. (Where the temps have been in the 60s--lucky girl.) That leaves me and three cats to deal with the snow and since they can't shovel worth shit (actually they do fine in the litter boxes but snow--HA!), I've strategically positioned the Tundra and Explorer in the driveway to minimize the distance I will have to move the snow if it comes to that. Or I could just wait for the weekend when the temperature is supposed to be back up to 40 degrees F.
