Daley Travels

As we head into our last 60 days here in Colorado Springs, I'm hoping we get a lot more snow - I'm not done playing in it!  Since most of the things we need to accomplish before we can leave don't really require great weather - although Mike might disagree since he's the one cutting & measuring sheets of plywood outside - I keep a close eye on the radar maps hoping to see the blue stuff that means snow.

When I drove through Flagstaff, Arizona earlier this week they were recovering from almost 4 feet of snow in 4 days - now THAT'S some serious snow.  The clerk at the hotel told me they were shut down for 2 days - didn't really matter since no one could actually get there anyway - but still.  Yikes!  This was the view right outside my hotel room door - and that's pretty much what it looked like in all the parking lots and along the sides of the streets.

We did get a little of the white stuff over the past 24 hours - maybe 2 inches total here at our house.  I was first up this morning and enjoyed a few cups of coffee in the silence watching the snowfall outside.  Our front yard and driveway were all covered with white, virgin snow - my bootprints were the first as I took the outgoing mail down to the mailbox. 

Late this afternoon I sent Sarah outside to shovel the drive (not that it really needed it, but *I* needed her to do it - if you know what I mean!)
