Could That Be Snow?

Holy cow!  Snow!

When we awoke Wednesday morning and looked out our windows, we saw snow sprinkled on the mountain peaks.  There wasn't any snow on the ground in the valley where we are, but there it was, high atop the mountains.  We are told that these snow sprinklings is the way winter arrives here, slowly and intermittently.  Now it is Thursday afternoon and much of the snow is gone.

We are also told that the 'big' snow arrives here in the valley in November.  That is when the snow piles  3-4 feet high and does not melt.  The winter snows usually arrive during the nights.  There is supposedly an incredible system of snow removal, which, I am told, begins at 2AM while the snow is falling.  There is such excitement here when you talk to people about the winter snow.  People get this excited look and talk about the beautiful sound of the snow crunching under your feet as you walk.  My minds gets caught up in the fact of how much snow falls ...and stays!

I'll let you know how this Cincinnati girl feels about that much snow when that happens.
