Minn Minn! We had 6 inches. Unheard of snowfall. 20 inches or more in the mountains. There was more forecast for yesterday but it passed us by. There's more forecast for today, but I'm hoping our luck holds. The mountains are getting slammed tho, Lucky for the X country enthusiasts that Arches got so much snow that they can ski there without risk if being killed in an avalanche. Besides its a rare thing to be able to have enough snow to ski the back country there -- and so beautiful in the snow.
Also the NYT has a good if harrowing article about an avalanche in Washington state. If you have an interest in that sort of thing.
ROME (Jan 17, 2013): Since his owner died two months ago, Tommy the dog has not missed a single mass in the small church in southern Italy where his mistress's funeral was held, Italian media said Wednesday.
When the bells of the Santa Maria Assunta church begin to toll each afternoon in San Donaci near Brindisi, the 12-year-old German Shepherd sets off from the village to get himself a front row seat next to the altar, Il Messaggero newspaper said.
His owner, who was known in local dialect as "Maria tu lu campu" - "Maria of the fields" - had lived alone with Tommy and three other rescue dogs, who used to follow her faithfully on her daily rounds and have now been adopted by the village.
After following his mistress's coffin up to the church on the day of her funeral, Tommy has returned daily, sitting quietly throughout masses, baptisms and funerals, according to local priest Donato Panna, who now wouldn't do without him. – AFP
Aisha hates the snow. She does everything possible to avoid it. Mikey knows.
Now the snow has nearly all melted, but it happened quickly and the melt of 6 to 8 inches from the deck produced a flood of water. It was quite the task to deal with it, Hopefully the daytime temps will be above freezing from now on,
