Winter Snow for Christmas '08

We wish you all the best during the Holidays & Merry Christmas to You & Yours! Happy Winter Solstice!

'Twas four days 'til Christmas and all through the land. Shoppers were hustling for those christmas deals while children were semi-nestled in their beds...

AND... last Sunday evening with 1 inch of compacted snow we received another foot of snow by Monday morning. Our McWagner snow gauge was measuring 13 inches by now. BUT... it was compacting as well.

Between Tuesday and Wednesday we accumulated another 4 to 5 inches, BUT... our 13 inches had compacted down to 12 inches into Wednesday evening. Thursday morning we awoke to another inch of snowfall and by now our snow gauge was measuring 13 inches again, at 8 a.m., Thursday. By 10:30 a.m. of the same morning dry powdered snowfall was creeping up between the 14 to 15 inch mark. This last Thursday was a day of low visibility with the strong winds and blowing snow.

It is beautiful to watch from the inside and makes great photo-ops! BUT... if you are out driving in it, be careful -- don't be in a hurry -- watch those slippery roads, especially around the mountain lakes in the San Juans. You don't want to take a side trip down to the shoreline like this cautious Vallecito driver.

Saturday afternoon the snow had compacted from 13 inches down to 11 inches. NW Okie bundled up and went out to try to make a snowman or two, BUT... Alas, it seems that the powdery snow squashed that idea to bits of snow white powder. Great for skiers, huh?

NOW... this NW Okie is off to look for Santa in SW Colorado and gather some christmas light videos! If you have any Christmas 2008 short videos to share, send them this way (to NW Okie). Thanks!

Have a safe trip over the hills to grandma's house for the holidays and watch those slippery snow-covered by-ways!

Merry Christmas & Happy Winter Solstice! AND Remember... the greatest gift of all is something hand (home) made from the heart!
