Snow, Ravens, Snow, Icicles, Snow, Lucy, Snow, Ricky, and did I mention Snow!!

Hi Everyone, ... see pics here ...

I just added 4 new pictures to this Blog UPDATE, so they are NOT in my slide show!! Our snow is now almost 9 inches and it has stopped snowing at this time!! And we're getting some strange Icicles as the snow breaks off the roof snow, but hangs onto the flashing on the edge of our roof. If you are having snow too, I feel for you, but if you are not having snow ... PLEASE come and take some of ours, eh!! ;-))

Snow, Driveway Clearing, Sun Setting on Snowy Mts

Hi Everyone, ... see all my pictures here ...

We FINALLY got the driveway cleared of snow and went to town today, Wednesday the 16th!! ;-)) Kathy hadn't been out of the house since Christmas day. Every time I'd get part of the driveway cleared, it would snow again overnight, I'd clear it, it would snow, right. But we finally did get out and about, picking up our mail, prescriptions, 4 dinners at GAC ;-)), shopping at Longs & Tops, ate lunch at Burger King, and then stopped by our local Quilt Shop, Textile Traditions, and picked up Kathy's 'Block of the Month' for December and January!!

We left home about 1 pm and didn't get back till after dark at about 5:20 pm!! Wore ourselves out, eh!! But it was so good to get out of the house and NOT be shoveling snow!!! We both were so tired that it was a real chore to unload the car and put everything away, but we had an easy dinner fix since we had picked up the dinners from GAC, eh!! I still had to make 5 trips to get everything from the car to the house, and by the time we set down to eat and relax, it was so hard to get back up again!! ;-)) Hope you enjoy all the pictures, eh!!

Jauguar, Oregon Snow, Weaverville Snow, GAC Bugle, The Trinity Journal

Hi Everyone, ... see all pics here ...

I just updated my blog with some snow pictures that my friends/ebuddies Bill & Ann Method sent me a couple of days ago from their place in Oregon. They usually don't get much, if any snow where they live, and I've been teasing them that they could keep some instead of sending it all down to me, eh!! So they finally did kept some up there, otherwise I may have gotten another 6 inches, eh!! ;-)) So I added them to my snow pictures, plus a few shots of a new Jaguar for us car nuts, the GAC Bugle for January for those interested. Also added a couple items/pictures from our local newspaper, The Trinity Journal too. Hope you all enjoy what ever you are interested in, eh!! ;-))

Since we haven't been able to dig out our car since the 1st, my good old friend Johnnie Brinson came up on Wednesday about noon in his 4x4 SUV and took me to town to do the PO, Banking, Pharmacy, Longs & Tops and we got back to my place about 2:30 pm. It still took me another 25 minutes to carry everything from the roadway up to and inside the house, even with only making 2 trips. I'd walk 2-3 steps, rest a bit, repeat, etc, till I got everything inside. Here 2 days later, my legs, back and arms are still hurting, trying to carrying all that stuff up our steep driveway in about 28 inches of snow. But I made it without falling even one time!! Hallelujah!! ;-))

Then Wednesday night we had another 4 inches of snow fall, even tho the weather predictions were for a warm heavy rain storm, but it we had NO rain or snow both on Thursday and Friday!! The rains would help clear off our snow, because our temps have been hanging around 31 to 33 degrees and the old snow it NOT melting very quickly!!

Snow, Snow, Snow and more Snow, Eagle

Hi Everyone, ... see all pictures here ...

We've been have a bit of snow this past week, as you'll see in my pictures. One day I'm out trying to clear off our driveway and no sooner than I clear off the deck and stairs, another inch of snow is covering the deck. Three times I've gotten about 65% of the driveway clear, hoping for the the predicted rains to come in that night and help wash more of our snow away. Get up the next morning to another 3" to 11" of fresh snow!! Then I got up this morning, Tuesday the 8th and more snow again.

We also had NO satellite reception either and when Kathy checked out her overnight recordings, saw that we lost reception about 5:44 am this morning. So hoping that the snow would slide of all by itself, not wanting to get lost in all our snow, I finally went out about 3 pm to clear off the 11" of fresh snow from our deck and steps. I then got my 6' walking stick and headed out to the garage where our satellite antenna is, to clear off the snow. Since the last time that I cleared off the antenna, I measured off 15+ inches on the flat areas and this time the snow was not only over my 16" boot tops, but almost up to my waist!! When I got back to the house I measured my walking stick where I had marked it and our snow depth is now over 36 inches!!

Plus, when I climbed up the ladder to the antenna, the snow on the garage roof was so deep, that the snow on my garbage bag/Tee-Pee had no place to slide off to!! So I cleared away about 3' all around the antenna, then cleared off the snow that was left on the antenna and by the time I got back into the house, Kathy was yelling 'We have tv again!!' ;-)) Good old Trinity County snow storms, eh!! BTW, this last snow storm was supposedly to be a lot of rain and I think we got about 30 minutes between snowing and I got up to another 11'' of snow on the deck, eh!! Even with all my bitching about the snow ... we had a perfect beautiful sunny day yesterday, Monday the 7th, with pretty Blue Sky & White Clouds, all day long, eh!! ;-))
