March Winter Comes To Vallecito...

"Winter finally decided to make an appearance less than two weeks before the vernal equinox. Since Thursday morning we have had over 32" new snow and it is still coming down (11 am Sunday -- see attached photo taken Saturday on our east patio and Sunday out our bedroom door). NOAA forecasts predicted as much as 3 feet in places and it looks like we may make that. We are now 3" over our 2002 snow total: 79" total for the season, 42" so far this month, but we are still way below normal for the season. My little snowblower is in its 18 season, but started up and nearly made it to the bottom of our hill before the mechanism froze up; I was also out of gas -- I hadn't figured on getting that far. But with more gas and in low gear it could pull itself back up our hill as long as I didn't try to bite off any more snow."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
