Bring it on

Winter scene from my bedroom window

A much needed snowfall began falling last night and has fallen all day. Along with the snow comes the cold. We’re at about 12 degrees now and will be in single digits tonight. I say much needed snow because it will help in quelling some of the fire activity from spreading. It will not however put out the fires. Forest fires will smolder under snow then blow up again after the melt. I do find it interesting to hear people being excited about the snow because of the fires. Normally people are put off with the first major snowfall as it means the coming of winter and cold. What I hear today is, “Bring it on!”

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    I looked at the NWS National Forecast Map, then at your local forecast, then at your blog to find out what was happening out your way. Yes, the snow will only slow things down a bit, and a bunch of snow isn’t a lot of fun, but hopefully a little help will come from it. Stay warm, hopefully you are well-stocked with soup and coffee. 😉

      Yes. I saw a drawing yesterday that showed Kermit laying on his back looking up at the sky and says, “I’m not turning my clock back on Sunday as we do not need another hour in 2020.” Totally relate! Have and awesome day!!

      Its suppressed the fires from spreading but the 18 inches of snow halts almost all firefighting. Today we’re in the low 50s and snow is quickly melting. Warm and dry conditions are ahead and probably spreading of the fire. We’ll see.
