Rain Stopped ... Snow Started!!

Well folks, When we headed out about 9 am this morning to go shopping, it was snowing and starting to stick, eh!! By the time we arrived back home about 2 pm, it not only had stopped snowing, but all the slushy snow had also melted. Hurray!! So Kathy and I both had our cameras today and took shots thru out the morning and then when we headed home too. Because we both know that if you don't take that shot like right now, it may be gone in a few minutes or even seconds!!
If you look at all of the pictures, you'll see where I stood in the middle of the road to get the couple of Main Street shots. This is one of my favorite views as we are coming back towards town when leaving the shopping area and are driving into the old main part of town. The view of snow on our mountains, looking past our Court House and the old town business area, is always a changing site. And I love taking pictures here, stupid drivers and all, eh!! ;-))
There are a couple shots of the sun trying to break thru and a couple shots of the snow clouds with the contrast of trees with no leaves any longer. I tried to position myself to get just the right angles and hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
The very last picture I wasn't going to add because it has nothing to do with the other shots today. But, as you will read on the picture, it took the County 30 years to finally make up their minds on a 'real' physical address, because of the New 911 Addressing System. When we moved up here in 1976 hardly anyone had an address number, even in the 'downtown' area. Everyone would just use their house color or something that would help people get to their house. We are 3 miles from Main Street/Hwy #299, so we used 'go 3 miles up Oregon Street and look for our large wooden sign - Keef's Stagecoach Stop' and that worked ok most of the time.
Then with more and more deliveries by UPS, FedEx, etc, different companies wanted an actual address and we'd tell them that we have none out this far. So just to make them feel better we started telling them our address was '3000 Oregon Street' and that worked until the County decided that they'd change it to '14320', eh!! Now we're '2801'!! What can I say. Government doings are way different than us country folks, eh!! ;-)) . . . Later, 'Viper'
