Thursday we had gotten about 7 inches of fresh snow and I think that spurred Hubby on to get up to the ski slopes. Of course he had to plow the driveway, so we could make it up the hill to the main road.
Friday was another wild day up here. A wintry mix, weather wise. I was up early with Hubby, who was determined to go off and ski. At that point it was snowing and very pretty to watch. Off Hubby went and the dackels and I sat snuggling in my chair while Fritz fussed and whined about his Daddy going off.
It started as snow, then switched to rain, then ice, then sleet, then a little snow, before stopping in the late afternoon, and the sun actually came out! Bizarre!
Hubby reports that he had good skiing, albeit somewhat wet. He called me around noon and asked me if I had been out to get our mail and to the grocery.
You might all recall the skidding accident last year that I had when I hit black ice and the Jeep and I went for a little unplanned trip! I also had a black ice skidding accident 12 tears ago when we first moved into the house. I’d actually gone to get the mail, and when I came back, the driveway was all ice and I skidded off the drive and into the ditch next to it.
Oh yes, I was shaking and crying and just wanted Hubby! I flung open the door, took one step out of the car and fell smack dab on my bottom!
So you might have guessed that by now, I have a healthy respect for snow and ice! Meaning, that Friday I stayed in.
Then I worried about Hubby. He was driving home from skiing, and usually he is back by 12 or 12:30, but on Friday he didn’t get in until 1:30!
Once he was home for the day I relaxed. The weather is set to change on Friday night, as a cold front moves in, dropping our temperatures into the single digits (f).
Ah yes, winter has arrived!
Just dreary gray rain here. I hate that cold to your bones dampness. I’ll be in Florida soon for a week of hopefully good weather and sunshine! Love YOU, Mel
DiD you get the crazy high winds, too? Weird!
Picking up mail seems to be a dangerous task in winter ! You should train Fritz to get the mail !
It’s awful when it rains on snow and then the whole thing freezes together ! We still have no winter temperatures, daffodils are coming out and my weeds too !
It looks beautiful but when it gets wet and icy it can be brutal. Glad you okay and stay warm. Glad hubby got to do some skiing!
