Not much to write about but we did finally get some snow. So far about an inch but more is forecast for the weekend as well as lower temperatures.
If you are not familiar with Wenatchee we are close to the geographic center of Washington State. IN the summer we have a couple weeks (usually late July and first of Aug) where temps get to 100 or so. Though because of our location they also cool down to the high 60's at night. In the winter we also get a few weeks of snow...usually off and on and not much more than 6-12". (though there have been times...not long ago one News Year Eve had 30" ) and usually a week of two in late December or early Jan where temps drop to single digits and occasionally sub-zero.
But I digress. So we now have some snow. For our valley and the people that live here the snow is an important commodity. It not only provides water in the summer but the blanket of snow helps insulate the fruit trees so they don't freeze when we get really cold temps. Naturally a blanket of white on the houses and homes in the valley as well as the hills and mountains makes for beautiful panoramas. I guess you could say we are thrice blessed.
Sure it gets sloppy, and messy and even dirty... but for now it is clean and brite. As a homeowner in the Valley I appreciate the four seasons and the constant change. Though the weather can effect real estate sales and keep buyers indoors. But all in all a great time to be alive!
Have a Merry Christmas!
