Bill said the last time he saw snow was ‘91 or ‘92 on his way to Illinois (he grew up in Illinois and 3 of his 4 daughters live there). He had fun but refused to make snow angels and I can’t blame him as this snow is very wet.

I took the “Mountain Morning” sunrise photos in the previous post about 6:00 a.m. By 7, it was overcast, dark, began raining…the rain started looking a bit thick, the temperature dropped from 42 to 37 and the rain got thicker…by 8 it was snow and it has snowed all day long.

The Snow Advisory has been extended until noon tomorrow. …but it is forecast to be in the mid to upper 70’s Friday and the weekend!

Bob chose to stay inside and eventually in front of the fire…

The downside to this late snow storm is the damage to leafed out trees.

We did make a bit of progress on the TV situation…

Our day in the snow - ending with Bill grilling …in the snow…on June 10.

Mountain morning…plan B

Yeah…on to Plan B - what Plan B is we don’t know yet… Fortunately Bill called a stop to the fun before 47000 pounds of bus dug in too deep and also fortunately he has tow service on his insurance and I had to leave for an appointment but reportedly the tow guy was very nice, very competent and when I returned the bus was back where we started and we are exploring a number of options and getting estimates for things… but for the moment, the bus lives on the nice solid driveway.

This morning is a new morning and it was a beauty. Pressed for time, all of this morning’s photos, including the stuck bus above are straight out of the camera - no software fun today…

Still adjusting to a different routine which is my excuse for a late morning post… that and playing musical motorhomes and riding around on the 4wheeler discussing possible options…this last at 6 p.m. last night fortified by a strong scotch each…it was a day - on to Plan B!
