NO BETTER WAY TO END THE YEAR





December 29, 2016
1:48 pm.

A blizzard is coming.   It is not a nor’easter, but it is going to be a good one.  Most of our storms come up the coast and then the counterclockwise rotation of the low pressure sends the storm back from the north east; but, this one is coming up inland from the south east.   It is kind of a moot point though, for we are forecast to receive 12 to 18 inches of snow by this time tomorrow with wind gust to forty by early Friday morning. 

Went to the store this morning for fresh produce and wine.  We have plenty of wood laid in by the back door, enough batteries, my simple cell phone is charged and we have books to read.  

This storm will wipe away and cover up all the bad news and hurt feelings of 2016 and leave us with a fresh white wonderland to start the new year. 

I couldn’t ask for more

  3. Fresh snow always makes things look new. I'm a bit jealous because we don't get snow down here in my part of Texas. Stay warm and happy.
