Snow, Snow and more Snow!



For the 9 winters that we've been here, we haven't had very much snow. If we did, we rarely had to shovel it, because warm temps would melt it away by noon. Once and a while we get a cold snap, but it rarely lasts for very long.

This winter has been very different. We've had a ton of snow. We've had a lot of cold as well. In fact, we even had a snow day! Meridian School District hasn't had a snow day for 13 years. Some school districts have almost used up all of their snow days. The above picture was taken on the way to Sun Valley. Notice the little rectangular speed limit sign poking up above the snow. YIKES!

If we move to Phoenix, this was a nice last winter for us. If not, we probably won't have another winter like this for a long time. At least the snow pack is above average. That is good news for the hot dry summer and fire season.
