I Thought We Had Escaped the White Stuff!
When we left Boston in the early spring of 2005 I thought we had escaped the white stuff.
When we were buying our first home in the La Costa area of Carlsbad in January of 2005 there was a major storm back in New England, indeed they labeled it a blizzard. We were in California for showings, writing the contract and getting into escrow while this was going on back east. It seemed appropriate affirmation of our decision to migrate west. This is my daughter standing in the snow next to her apartment during this time, the day before we got home...and found the car totally buried.
We moved into our new house in April 2005 and settled in. The first winter, beginning December 2005, was such a treat to be away from the cold and snow.
Low and behold in March of 2006, the 11th to be exact, we had a significant sleet storm. I was somewhat dismayed to see all that white stuff again, but in the overall scheme of things it was pretty minor. A bit ironic, though.
