snow in my backyard

on first snow day
Here
in Gig Harbor winter has become official because we got some snow beyond a
trace. I would not say it is a lot snow but at least enough to enjoy.
On
Sunday before and during the Super Bowl we were getting wet snow however it was
not sticking. I knew that if it continued into the night we would have snow on
Monday morning which is the case.
I
know that some are disappointed because they don’t like driving in the snow
which I have no problem doing. I have driven in snow in Montreal, Quebec and
when we have had over ten inches so I enjoy it very much.
We
do have a lot of hills around here so we do have to be careful. So many don’t
know how to drive in snow I have to watch what others are doing. That isn’t
much different than a normal day though.
A lot of people around here have trouble driving no matter the weather.
The
hills though mean when it snows you have to drive a minimum speed to make it up
the hills. Often people drive to slow to do so and they get into trouble. It
doesn’t help me out either. I make sure that I stay far distance away so I can
have a running start. Depending on the hill to drive up it must go at least
twenty-five miles an hour. Many people don’t realize that has to be the rule to
do so. Most of all I try avoid the hills as much as possible. A lot of people
live on hills that make it difficult for them to get where they need to go. I
am fortunate to live where I don’t have the problem. On the other hand I don’t
get as much snow either.
I
would love to have more snow like when I was a kid however I will take whatever
I can get. Mostly I like the beauty of snow on the trees.
Usually
snow doesn’t stick around very long. I hope that the temperatures stay low this
time so I can see and enjoy for a few days. It doesn’t have to snow anymore
though I would not complain that is for sure however the amount now is fine and
I can declare it being winter. Yes!
