Just a short report. Everything is fine here.
Are we snowed/blowed in right now.!! We had a terrible wind last night and it seemed like a hurricane blew until morning. Snow plastered the studio windows. But one good thing is how great it will scour off the dirty windows outside when it blows that way. Glad this house is sturdy. At least none of the siding came off this time.
Its hard to know how much snow fell, but you couldn't see from the back door to the shop for the snow blowing horizontally. Every once in a while when I got up I would try to check pinedaleonline weather to see how hard the wind was blowing, but Pinedale kept reporting calm or 6 mph. People I talked to in town today said that it didn't blow there. It was coming from the north, which direction catches the storm doors and tries to tear them off the house, so I couldn't let the dogs go out. Joe finally got them out for a few minutes and I hoped that would hold them until morning.
The county snow plow driver has offered to come in again and clear our road out. He said Mayo's road was really packed in hard too when they worked there today. (I wondered if Phyllis got to her teaching job in Farson today.) So I will call him back in the morning and tell him to come, then Frosty can do it again after that. Now Joe is being concerned about me getting out for my appointments, worried that this kind of weather will keep up. And we have more snow than we have for years. He thinks its so bad we need to give up trying to keep the road open and start snowmachining again. And I don't think that's a good idea. If it gets difficult I might try to go stay with someone in town for a while. Today was really nice here, but roads were closed all over the area. The plows are having a hard time getting them open. Check http://www.pinedaleonline.com/ to read that story.
Joe was supposed to go for a haircut today, but we called and cancelled that this morning. He will have to get another appointment. I painted a little while today. Trying to get that same old commission finished. It wouldn't take long if I'd stick to it. Other than that, no news that I know of. My cold is slowly getting better. Had a few phone calls so got to visit.
Cute note from Charm - she went to town today - and hauled her groceries in 10 miles on the snowmachine sled:.... No mail today. Roads were closed between here and Rock Springs. Terrible winds along the I-80 corridor between Rock Springs and Salt Lake. The produce truck couldn't get to P-dale, so, yes, they had no bananas at Ridley's.

Now that is some snowdrift. Maybe you and I were part of the same windstorm. Wed. evening we had big winds, clocked 60 - 65 mph. Electricity out all over the valley, as well as Logandale & Overton and parts of Las Vegas, from about 6:00 PM to about 7:15 PM.
Very little damage at Plumnilly, only an awning and two roof tiles. But the mesquite trees are practically nude!
That kind of wind is so unsettling! And wow, that is some drift. Actually it looks like a great wave to surf!
Enjoyed my meeting with the SAA, (Society of Animal Artists), Wednesday. They are such an inspiration. The members who are in Colorado get together once a year to share stories and information. We meet at Cinzetti's, a smorgasboard type of resturant, in Denver. Technically Northglenn. I went in the back way to avoid the slow traffic around the big sink hole repair, and ended up being delayed for 30 minutes anyway because of a very bad accident.
I couldn't believe the weather there. It reached 68 degrees. Today the high was in the 20's and I woke up to snow on the ground. And on my car which I didn't put back in the barn after the trip.
Colorado weather ... just wait a few and it will change.
Love, Judy
Nothing new tonight. (Friday) I hope you didn't overdo ... Take care. Love, Judy
