On our previous "April Snow" post we were whining about snow dusting, and talking about "It isn't sticking". Well, last night it stuck.
When Papa opened the door, here is the sight he saw.
Another phrase we learned: "There will be 1 to 2 inches of snow accumulation on the valley floor" (That's where we are -- right down here on the valley floor)
Even our Boise State football antenna guy got a face full of accumulation
We know that our family members who have settled in this valley and those in Idaho will look at this and laugh and say "This ain't nothing"
But for us Auswanderers it is enough and to spare. Papa knows the drill to get the car on the road. So, deep in our trunk he keeps the snow removal tool, although he hoped not to have to use it.
The good news, the snow did not "stick" to the asphalt, so he didn't have to use salt nor shovel.
On some of the Utah license plates is the phrase "Greatest Snow on Earth". So I guess the lesson is to flourish where you're planted and count your blessings.
