Winter

We got nine inches of snow accumulation in the mid. Feb. winter storm we got in 2021. 

I had a good lesson on winter driving this winter the main roads were pretty good but our street was very slick had been plowed. I had to learn how to use four wheel drive in both rigs. I did an untinotential cookie in the road two doors from home I had to knock on the neighbors door and have their high school age kid show me how to put it in four wheel drive. He did not know how to drive a stick shift so I drove myself out of that minor pickle I drove around the block. 

Talked with my son who clears snow in the winter for one of his jobs we had a good talk. He suggested I look on you tube how to put the other rig in four wheel drive and then get to use it and drove around the block.  We did not loose power had heat and water is good yea!

The snow is gone here now, today we had sun and rain and I could see snow squalls in the mountains in the area around us. 

I did lots of snow clearing for my exercise that week and got out my snow boots both pairs one nicer one for town. I do not need those every year. Deep snow does not happen but every few years like seven to ten years. 

I made a snow angel , snowman and snow creature it was great to play in the snow. I have two snow shovels one for the front driveway and one in back for the deck and patio and trails. 

I am looking forward to spring and the time change in two weeks. The bulbs are blooming I have snowdrops in bloom in my backyard.
