I had a total of 25" of nice fluffy snow. Now 24 hours of rain has turned it into
16" of sloppy cold slurpie crap...more snow is on the way
Not so lucky up here in Concrete (Skagit Valley). We're
buried in the stuff.
With the cold air rolling off Mount Baker and the North Cascades, it stays
a bit colder here. Been living here for 16 years, and this is the most snow
we're ever had.
Here's a pic of the driveway I took late this afternoon. My truck is an '87
4x4, and the tires are 32" tall.
It's still snowing here, and now it's above the front bumper.
Here's a shot of the house and the river:
River looks beautiful, but I'd bet that waters damn cold!
Making it all worse, my wife is in the hospital at UW since last Friday,
and that's 120 miles away. Maybe coming home tomorrow (they
transport her). Nothing overly serious, fortunately, but I have to shovel
a path from the house to the road, as she can't walk in snow over a couple
inches deep.
..and we're supposed to get more on Thurs. and Fri.
