Those of us on the mountain woke early to strong winds. It was so beautiful watching the darkness being chased away as the pastel colors brightened the sky. Then the wind really picked up so I took this from my desk before running out to bring in the flag.
When I clicked on the weather it said we might get 60 mph winds…. I believed it and brought in all our patio cushions and battened down the hatches!
This afternoon it was interesting to drive ’round the mountain and see small branches in so many places and then turn the corner and the road was totally clear. Interesting weather!
It has been so cold that we still have much of our last snow of about 4 inches here in State Park Road. The snow and ice is like a skating rink! Now, we’re promised another storm starting Sunday. The forecast keeps rising. Now maybe 5 inches?
Get your firewood in and keep that kettle going for your hot chocolate!
