Brrrrr! But is it cold?

In the early morning the air is clear and the snow squeaks under your feet but there is no wind so it does not feel that cold. In fact the 16 degrees seem to be quite comfortable with my warm clothes. In Lake Havasu City the daily high has been in the mid-fifties and people there say it is really cold! In Kotzebue, Alaska the thermometer are reading above zero - a real heat wave.

So I guess it depends not on where you are but who you are and your expectations. Me, any temperature is fine as long as the snow does not melt..

It is getting to look like Christmas

My sister-in-law Barbara Jo is out collecting small trees for table decorations for her garden clubs Christmas home tour. The Cadillac Garden Club decorate some local homes for Christmas and sell tour tickets to raise money for the club.

Skiing the River

The snow is deep so the going is a little tough but the river is so beautiful with the fluffy white snow. Except for small hints of green, it has become a black and white world.

Best of all, it is still snowing

This is the stone picnic table in the lower yard of our house. It very accurately shows the amount of snow we have on the ground. As you can see, (look in lower right corner if you don't have your glasses on) and you can see we are almost at 24 inches. It is still coming down pretty steady. Casey tries to stay under the trees where the snow depth is less. Even there he could use some longer legs.
