Pace on Earth

Don't Eat The Yellow Snow

I typically don't need to give that advice this early in the year but we just experienced a major december snowfall. It is the earliest massive dump I can remember this far before Christmas in a few years. To quote my ski bum buddies, it was pukin'. I put a snow box on the front of my house so you can see how much snow accumulates during a storm; it also doubles as mailbox. A handy tool indeed!

It's hard to say if this snow will stick around. We would have to get a lot of rain for this much snow to melt away and this winter is supposed to be a cold one so it might not happen. I, for one, would be happy if it stays right where it is. This is how winter is supposed to look; all the snow on the ground makes everything bright and partially makes up for the sun going down at 4:30. And let's not forget about the snowball fights - the single best thing aabout winter.

This also means we have officially started wipeout season. With a long cold winter with above average precipitation predicted the current over/under for Simon's winter wipeouts is 10. I am currently sitting at 1 after a spill during the snow removal routine this morning. I am taking bets....

Pace out.
