Six More Weeks of Winter??

Yesterday was Groundhog Day and it looks like Winter will be with us for a while. In fact, we are under a Winter Storm Watch today through tomorrow night. We'll see. The last time this happened (last week), all 20 or so snowplows the city owns were strategically placed around town, waiting for the snow that never came. Oh, the foothills got about two inches, but the rest of the city, nada. However, despite the lack of snow, city workers were released early, and ALL state workers were on a two-hour delay the following morning. Makes you wonder who makes these decisions! At least the schools weren't closed, except for the mountain schools, of course.
Anyhow, in anticipation of our new "storm" I thought I'd post a couple pictures from last week (obviously we live in the foothills, as we were blessed with a little bit of the white stuff).

Don't laugh! The kids haven't had much practice with snowmen.

A couple of days after the big storm. At least the mountains still had snow!
