Snow day!!!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with John L. Scott Sp34627

Well it finally happened!  We have a snow day!!! As a matter of fact I think the winter storm warning was for the entire state of Idaho!  I did a good job to warn my dad and wife to drive through last night and not stop in Salt Lake City....

Snow day

We had 6 inches but it is already melting.... It was very peaceful.... It used to be that I had to run around in the snow driving children to school.  Once in a while other cars would hit mine.  I am a pretty good snow driver (coming from upstate New York) but my counterparts from the great state of California are not...    Instead I just stayed home and enjoyed natures beauty.... The dogs seemed happy.... The orange one is the backside of Jolly the Collie.... She is still with us..... 

Bogus Basin (see let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!) has already announced that it is opening at 10 AM tomorrow.  In some parts of the mountains they are predicting over 2 feet of snow!  Perhaps the crops will have water.... Tomorrow I expect things to be back to normal...  My street will be bad but the main ones should be OK.... They don't believe in snow plows here... Or salt... They will just put dirt at the intersections... Mostly we are civilized about snow... We get it in the mountains and not the valleys.... Just as it should be....But today is a snow day.....

I tried to talk hubby into doing a snowman.... But he wasn't interested... The kids are grown   and gone....And by the time the driveway was clear I had lost interest.... There was a time that a snow day would have meant snow men and sleds.... Snow balls and hot cocoa.... Now it is just peaceful... A neighbor shoveled the old couples driveway.... Things are friendly in Boise...Boise is a great place to live and play... Today is a snow day... Tomorrow I am back to work selling homes in Great Boise Homes... Give me a call!

It is not so bad if you don't have to drive in it.  Beside our economy depends on the snow pack and the ski season....Both of which nead snow!

I'm glad you got some of the white stuff. Northern Virginia has been spared snow so far this year with the exception of an inch or two.

Indeed you did.  I caught the nightly news tonight until then I was oblivious to the winter storms brewing!  That shows you how much attention I pay to the tube.  Stay warm and safe!

Debbie - my memory of first snow goes very far back. When we lived in the Arctic, it was all very different. First snow could easily be the one to stay, but now the climate there is much warmer. And for the last 15 years I live in Florida, and do not see any snow.

But still remember that peaceful feeling
