Stormy weekends call for good books, movies, hot chili and cornbread, puzzles and games. It'll be fun!

Lucky for you this kind of snow does not happen that often. Canada's great for snow, however snow = cold, which in turns = running on a treadmill.

Isn't this crazy? We had a snow advisory at SEA LEVEL here! The TV stations were trying to call the hail snow pellets...but all I know is it never rained here last night...it just hailed on and off. Crazy and COLD!

We did get rain and the mountains got snow! Of course, we can't go see it because the county sheriffs close the mountain roads before the storms and only open them after they are completely free of snow. Hopefully we can get up there before it all melts! At least some of our major creeks should flow for a little while now. It's so cool to actually have natural running water out here in the desert.
